Great article on the need for tactile intelligence in high tech jobs

Great article on the need for tactile intelligence in high tech manufacturing jobs

Why kids and workers need to get their hands dirty - Harvard Business Review

"Expertise is built through practice. The more time our “digital native” kids spend on entertainment media, the more we lose the tactile intelligence critical to design and manufacture physical products.   So let’s encourage children to start physically building and tinkering again. Let’s encourage schools to let students dirty their hands in projects and experiments. Let’s close the gaps we already see in the next generation of workers. And let’s enable the tactile intelligence we need to remain competitive in our growing global marketplace."
