I just uploaded a post on the maps of Vietnam. Surveying today I suspect is helped by GPS but still would require the good skills. One of my friends from Georgia Tech said the surveying final was a survey of the campus that the professor had been using for years. He gave you the start location and waypoints. If you ended up at his stop location, you passed. My friend said the system was flawed since the expressway next to GT had changed some of the points. He submitted his final point at the Varsity Drive in, which was just on the other side of the expressway and the professor gave him a passing grade since the test was so outdated. Here is crude example of the joke.

I agree Bobby Tony.
One of my early jobs was being a draftsman and map maker, and in those olden days before plotters, we hand scripted information in various weights, which made up the visual communication vehicle - the drafted drawing. The key to the project's success was the consistency of form. |
It may be automated calligraphy but it somehow does not seem as inspiring as the master does with his pen and ink. I spent most of my working life selling automation products to improve productivity and efficiency, but I always admired the skill of a real craftsman practicing his trade.
Sometimes progress can be effective in reducing cost and increasing productivity but regressive in its disregard of the dedication of skilled craftsman as shown in the above article. Below is the indifference of automation that accomplishes a purpose but loses something in the process. From the Gutenberg printing press to this simple printer show below in the 1:/12 minute video, we have managed to create efficiency but I hope that we will always have room for the skill set required to design and implement uniqueness in some works of art. beaufortcountynow.com |
