It is cool to see how something as simple as computers can make a huge impact to the economy 50 years ago and how right now they are also making a huge impact. Not only on the way we learn and research things but also how we do our day-to-day lives.

In the other passage he talks about "services" and says, "Service are tasks that one or several people preform for others: cutting hair and preparing restaurant meals, classroom instruction and brain surgery, transportation and auditing." In both passages Kling and Stanford are walking about what type of education people might need for these different jobs. Kling talks more about the education behind that job.

These "Services" are all extremely different. There is a wide spread of different jobs that require different types of education. Some cost a lot of time and money like preforming brain surgery, while others don't.

Finance is the one of the five building blocks to economics. Finance is talked a lot by both Kling and Stanford. They talk about how to effects of what one person does with their money can change for better or worse other people and the whole economy.

These are the "good workers" that he was talking about a few pages above this. The people that need to go through training and education to make more money with a higher skilled job. They are doing the schooling to "receive premium wages and benefits, and enjoy some long-term job security."

The text says, "Of course, if you are recognized as a "good worker" you might get a promotion or a raise, but at best this is an indirect, long-term incentive." With this being said, there are a couple different types of workers,. One being the one that stives to work hard and be a "good worker" by earning raises and promotions. In comparison, "Most people work just hard enough not to get fired, and get paid just enough money not to quit" as George Carlin says. I agree some people care about the business and want to work hard and get promotions while others are just there for the pay check. What has caused people to care less and what they represent?
