China's Moon Shot

Remember the technical writer's Wake-up Call that I showed at Techshoret? It's not just technical writing jobs that are at stake here. This Op-Ed piece from the New York Times by Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas L. Friedman, “Their Moon Shot and Ours,” is another wake up call for us and a reminder about what China is doing right. Instead of getting depressed, I’m re-inspired to think different and find new ways to get innovative.

Let’s just hope the rest of the world wakes up soon, too.

    I think China is more concerned with appearing successful than actually succeeding. The rampant Corruption and Fraud in the scientific and academic community there will probably be a major setback for them.

    You are right. It's good to reassess priorities and remap your path into the future. Has to be done dynamically!
