I am the perfect T-shaped professional. I pretend to understand a bit of everything, but realize that there is way more to learn in any domain than I will ever master.Curiosity is driving me and by times an uncontrollable desire to share knowledge, insights, small accomplishments and greater victories.I have no idea what world students and scholars will populate ten years from now, so I do my utter best to challenge them to oppose my opinions and think for themselves.I maintain a love/hate relationship with new technologies. They fascinate me endlessly, but equally compete fiercely with what I value most in life: freedom of thought, authenticity and truth.I studied economics and commercial engineering in the age before the internet, I never missed a Friday morning class of ethics and wrote a master thesis about cost management algorithms of project planning software packages.I wonder whether educational institutes as we know them will survive the coming decade, but I do belief that this should not cause any panic.
