Marrying Technology with Liberal Arts, Part II

People whose mental memory is sharpened by one kind of activity, tend to do poorly when facing an opposing kind of activity, and vice versa. Liberal Artists are not expected to brag about efficiency and effectiveness, or even economical. Conversely, Technologists will not be taken seriously if they start dwelling on aesthetics. Even if it were aspirational for one side to claim value attributes of the other, they are likely to face an uncertain journey of reconversion, adaptation, reinvention. At an individual level this is hard at best, at an organisational level such aspirational journey could quickly become daunting, you have legions of people and habits to convert into totally alien habits.
