A microbiota[which means microbiomes] is an "ecological community of commensal, symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms" found in and on all multicellular organisms studied to date from plants to animals. A microbiota includes bacteria, archaea, protists, fungi and viruses.
Combine your cells with bacterial effects and you get a particular Lollapalooza outcome. But to actually define such complex matter, we need not complicated languages but a drive for novelty. I mean drive to learn and try to explain things from a new lens. One of the ways for average joes like us to explain things from a new lens is by learning a new language. Well, If you're like me, a straight-A so far in Computer Science, then you might have wondered as I did since 8th grade why the hell do computers can do what they do? To answer this question, I set out to learn programming and it helped me get a new perspective over computers... but my journey was not over and it still isn't. Last 3 weeks I discovered the Semi-conductor theory and finally the lights went on.
The limits of my language means the limits of my world - LudwigBut wait there... Today semi-conductors are so cliched that computers of the size of a credit card, which are not credit cards but actual computers, are coming with branding Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is the ultimate dream. This little baby has little connections over it than you can attach to a DC motor circuit and operate a damn robot using Python or a mix of whatever languages you prefer. Now that's 100x more valence/vacancy of electrons. For those who don't know, I mean the more we get ahead in software and hardware, both go hand-in-hand, we discover more ways to bring intelligence to dumb things like your door, your AC and your tubelight. Steve Jobs is one of my favorite innovators. Not because of iPod, which I touched some 10 years ago, and not because of iMac, which I borrowed from the client of my dad and used it for some software-related work and just that. I don't own a Mac because I would have to sell my hands to get it... kidding Mac is overrated and extremely expensive... but that doesn't mean I can't have Macintosh, which is a software... something I can control. One of my friends actually told me he installed a Macintosh on a 120$ Dell PC and ta da! A Cheap iMac. I actually learnt the process but for some reason I decided to go ahead with a linux distribution and I actually downloaded Macintosh theme and it looked so clean and beautiful... totally similar to a Macintosh. So Steve Jobs mixed design, technology and science but now it's our responsibility to distribute and test his innovations on every scale possible. After all, Apple has a premium branding.
Elon Musk said famously in an interview that you don't need PhDs to change the world necessarily... but I still entertain the ideas of not PhDs, but a good old bachelors degree. I may not want to change the world because it is in not my reach to provide. I am.. a human... and it is not within my hands/reach to provide. What I can do is to lay a framework and an example for the world to deploy itself time-by-time. One day or another, Windows is going to decide to rival Apple. One day or another, people are going to be tired from this education bubble. But I suspect that. The higher-education has been running for more than 500+ years and it's a shame only 0.000001% of people it touched actually produced innovators... and most of them were dropouts. But I still entertain the idea of having three bachelors, one in software, one in music, and other in journalism. If I have time and want to do a bachelors in finance, I'll do that too. Specialization is for insects.
