5 Engineers: What question would you like to ask?
Suzanne Deffree - October 5, 2012
In a recent 5 Engineers post — part of this blog and our Fun Friday newsletter, where we toss out a question and invite our audience to respond with their wittiest answers — we asked: Do you trust technology? Visit this page to share your own answer. Overall, the answers posted so far tend toward “yes.” But the first posted answer from Douglas.Butler noted that while many engineers trust technology, they are always questioning it, reexamining it.
So very true, engineers, overall, like to question. After all, how else do you learn if not by questioning. That’s one of the reasons we started “5 Engineers” posts at EDN. But up until now, we’ve been the ones doing the questioning, asking what you think/feel/believe about this and that.
So for this week’s question we’re asking: What question would you like to ask? What question would you liked posed here to the community of engineers and management that visit EDN.com? What do you want to ask your peers?
Post your short answer below and we’ll consider it for future 5 Engineers posts. Be sure to stay tuned to this blog for more 5 Engineers questions in the weeks to come.
