I recently stumbled across an article by the Guardian (well, when I say recently…) and thought it share-worthy.

Whenever I read or hear such comments on the necessity of a person, a human interpreter doing their job instead of a machine – however intelligent it may be – I have hope that I can keep doing what I love for the rest of my career.<\/p>\n
