[Geowanking] was: novice vs experts

[michael gould]

Ok Steve, prefer non-expert to novice? Hopefully you understood anyway. I am
talking about the difference between things like driving a car in 1910 (many
had professional drivers), computers in 1960 (also professional drivers),
secretaries (professional word processors) in the 1970s (now the boss writes
her own letters), licensed topographic engineers vs home-grade GPS in the
streets, etc.

Only by reducing everyone to novices.
