The Dependence on Technology vs. Human Resourcefulness
Ever since I had moved into the open and competitive market, I’ve seen it highly influenced by “modern” culture, dependent on “high tech” technological advancement.
I can clearly point the big changes that took over our biggest asset – The human resource, which as a progressive society we are moving towards losing its biggest value.
Coming from a small country like Israel, where I was taught that the human resource is the most important and the most invested asset when it comes to training, skills and knowledge, I was amazed to find out that almost everything in our “modern” societies comes in forms of “packages” promising the “short way” to success, or that people are looking to buy knowledge in a form of a secret pill, or some kind of a “kit” that will do the work for them.
This of course is a total contradiction of what they should actually look for in any type of acquired knowledge offered. It seems that we had passed a stage form the old school of thought. As society today is striving to the fast, most accessible and easiest way to get their results instead of the plain old school methods of resourcefulness and ingenuity based on real need for solutions that true warriors and leaders had used successfully throughout history.
~ Knowledge and skills based on experience are powerful. Don’t try depending on technology only! ~
THE ZULU WARRIORS FACING BRITISH BATTLE TACTICS
“Determination and Fearlessness”
In the historic Battle of Isandlwana 1879 the Zulu warriors fought against the
British forces, we have a great example of a “Modern” and technological advanced army (The British forces) that is defeated by an inferior army which is considered “primitive” (The Zulu), which was based only on the human asset and warriors skills.
This is the history in a brief: The story of the African resistance in 1879 as the British soldiers said "They fight like lions and not afraid of death”…
We go back to January 22nd, 1879 to the Zulu victory

    One of the themes the documentary covers was the false pretenses that Europeans claimed to justify the Colonization of Africa. During the early 20th century (1900’s), Northern and Eastern Africa still had a pervasive slave culture. In the North, the remnants of the Ottoman Empire still practiced slavery, while the Muslims were the responsible figureheads in the East. Following the centuries of trans-Atlantic slave trade between Europe, Africa, and the “New World”, Europe had abolished the practicing of slavery. In 1884, the European powers that be called for the “Berlin Conference’’. Part of the conference was to organize “The Scramble for Africa”. The term was used to describe the West’s desire to introduce themselves as administrators of the African continent. One of the justifications for the conference/European’s colonialism, was that the West had “a duty” to end the barbarism of slavery still existing on the continent through the West’s new found morality. Part of the European’s plan for administration was also the fragmenting of Africa with artificial political boundaries. While this “organized” Africa in a convenient matter for the Europeans, it led to ethnic divisions/rivalries that are still in existence today. One of the…

    With simple workers losing their jobs to common machines, this will create an even larger gap of pay between the workers who kept their jobs, and their superiors. Although there should be a gap, the differences in pay today is criminal. To pay someone so little and so much is unthinkable. This can have psychological effects on the workers that cause them to quit their job, depression, and possibly suicide. In order for these effects to be eliminated, machines need to become more regulated in the workplace. Another effect of technology in the workplace is a lower distribution of income. Labor market data suggests that there will be almost as many machines as workers in about a decade. This will not only reduce the number of jobs available, but will slightly increase the income of the workers left with a job. Although this may sound like a positive thing, it will only contribute to the increasing gap between the middle and lower classes, and possibly create a new class…
