I meet someone as a customer in their store. I purchase some good or service. I see what they are selling, and consider it a thing "human" - that is something that helps us more than hurts.

I tell the owner what can be done with computers and networks to help his store function better.

They usually say they can't afford it, or that the technology is just too complicated and hard to maintain.

Their competitor stole their idea. That business is down the street, selling bad copies of the good or service. They have a streamlined computer system, website, and advertising.

This makes me angry.

I am walking around creating corporate level information systems for mom and pop businesses, and my motivation is anger at their competitor's idea theft and profit hoarding.

I function on anger. What is wrong with me. How do I use what I know to help and not hurt people.

Are you saying that anger is your only motivation? Not doing a good job? Not teaching and helping others?

I'm not sure what a good job is - or even truly what teaching is. I think in the result of my actions. I think of what will happen when I put two computers and a router in a coffee shop. I think about how people will use it. I think about how people's lives will be impacted by using my information system 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week. I think about the morality of creating this system for 1 business when another down the street does not have it.

I enable people with technology. How do I pick who to enable. What if I endable the wrong people.
