Pekan kemaren di milist HAGI aku posting soal kemajuan seismic
processing (computing), saat ini di HAGI diskusi soal akuisisi. Semua
menjadi murah, semua menjadi cepat.

Yang jangan sampai dilupakan adalah "the mind". Jangan sampai
terkesima dengan harga dan kecanggihan teknologi.

Pada tahun 1954 di AAPG bulletin ada sebuah artikel menarik di
Explorer 2004, isinya ttg kekhawatiran kemajuan teknologi ini. Tulisan
dibawah mengingatkan kita untuk selalu menggunaan keilmuan dasar dalam
mengantisipasi, menggunakan (mamanfaatkan) nya, terutama ketika
mendidik, mengajar generasi penerus nantinya.

Wah aku kok trus serius sih ...
mestinya hari jum'at kan nyantei ....

Beware of Robot Geology 
 Perhaps a review -- and awareness -- of the past may make us better
geologists in the future.

"Robot Geology," a geologic note by Walter K. Link, AAPG BULLETIN,
Volume 38, December 1954:

"We are now in an electronic and nuclear age. Great calculating
machines have been built that devour figures and come out with answers
that would take a battery of men years to calculate."

" ... some of our educational institutions are substituting machines
of this kind for field geology, laboratory work and many of the old
and tried methods of teaching."

"Geology is a science in which the human factor is of utmost
importance, where a man's judgment, his freedom to observe, suggest
and think comes into play."

"Somehow I hate to see budding geologists feeding machines numbers.
They should be out in the field learning how to get the right numbers
to put into the infernal machines."

An antediluvian voice, opinionated, dogmatic, outdated -- and yet??
