Interview

Question: 
What is the focus of your work/research today?
Answer: 

The next phase of container orchestration. What will happen in your data centre post-orchestration.

Question: 
What is goal of your talk?
Answer: 

I want to encourage the audience to step back and take a longer (300 year!) perspective on the cutting edge tech we'll all be talking about at QCon.

Question: 
Have the great industrial revolutions been driven by new technology or by human ideas and needs?
Answer: 

Human all the way! The tech was just a means. Probably the biggest leaps were made by humans deciding to use existing, even old, technology in a new way. It wasn't a new technology discovery that changed everything, it was a problem looking for a (often initially pretty home-built) solution. Technology is not the star - humanity is the star!

Question: 
What is the level of target persona for your talk?
Answer: 

Anyone who enjoys a philosophical view on their new tech.
