At some point, eventually maybe, people are going to realize that it takes a

long time to do any one thing well (and those laundry lists of ridiculous

requirements for web jobs will get shorter :) - programming takes lots of

training and experience, design takes lots of training and experience,

illustration, and animation, sound, video ditto. We'll be much better off

finding new ways of being teams (the net offers lots of great opportunities

for this, if we can get over the downsides), and recognizing other people's

skills as being as difficult and worthy as our own, than trying to be a

bunch of one-man bands/jack-of-all-trades. You can know a little bit about a

lot of things or a lot about a few things, but I think you'd need more

lifetimes than I know I've got to know a lot about so many varied fields.


my two cents,

Laura
