Mapping the tech stack per generation

For the 2018 file 1.introduction/stem-tech-stack.md · proposal stem-tech-stack in the plan

Three columns, Gen X, Gen Y and Gen Z. Gen X: brain, pen, paper, scientific calculator. Gen Y keeps the brain and pen and paper, strikes the scientific calculator, and adds spreadsheets, computer, mobile, internet, email and data center. Gen Z keeps brain and pen and paper, adds AI and ML and voice, and strikes the calculator, spreadsheets, computer and mobile, internet, email and data center.

What it is for

The reviewer's open issue 003 asks whether to render the missing figures or redraw them as infographics; this is the redraw, from the 2018 text alone, ready for that decision. Chapter 8's tech-stack-per-generation proposal builds on it.

How it is made

Drawn by admin/build/infographic_svg.py from admin/content/infographics/drawn/stem-tech-stack.json, as a comparison. Change the data and rebuild; the picture follows. It keeps the book's colours in every theme of this site, because it is a printed picture: the same file goes into the PDF.

Notes

The 2018 text has 'AI and LM' in its label and 'ML' in its gloss; the drawing follows the gloss and says so. v1/ is frozen: the figure goes to the vault's working copy, or into chapter 8 through tech-stack-per-generation, never into v1/.

Checked against the source

Nothing on this drawing quotes the text; its numbers and labels come from the data named under it.
