[font="]Too many of you are obsessed with the knowledge of how to use a tool. I know this almost sounds religious, but I do know that that there is knowledge that is created by Microsoft, Rockwell, Siemens, Koyo, Omron, Schneider and Mitsubishi this knowledge is temporary and will fade away. This is unsettling because one can learn this knowledge even if it is transitory. There is knowledge of math, logic and physics that will we always be true but this is harder to learn..
Once you understand even part of the forever knowledge the rest becomes easier.
I know this forum is about PLCs but I really do see them as just a tool. You all should know that I sell motion controller but they are just a tool. I am not a hypocrite. Things are just tools. All tools are just a passing fad. Physics, math and logic are forever.
What tools will you be using 20 years from now? Will the questions posted on the PLC forum change? Will they still be about traffic lights and one button toggles? Will they still be about calculating speed using the latest high speed counter card? Are these the forever questions? I would hope the level of question would be a little higher.
