Postmodern thought is broadly characterized by tendencies to epistemological and moral relativism, pluralism, self-referentiality, and irony.

In 1823, the British government gave Babbage £1700 to start work on the project… By the time the government abandoned the project in 1842, Babbage had received and spent over £17,000 on development, which still fell short of achieving a working engine. The government valued only the machine's output (economically produced tables), not the development (at unknown and unpredictable cost to complete) of the machine itself.

Just be aware of the impact of post-modern thinking in your tech life…

Try bringing objectivity and scientific reasoning back to every important decision.

Remember “… we come from a long line of scientists”
