I was never really that friendly with Data. It’s not so much that I disliked Data, but I
use to feel like it was always trying to steal attention away from my students,
as if it knew more about them than I did.
Over the past few years, I have had to work with Data more closely, and
I am realizing it’s not that bad. Sure,
sometimes I strongly disagree with its methods, but it has good intentions. Sometimes I don’t like what it has to say, but
that can be true in any relationship.
Data is definitely going to be around for a while and so am I, and that
is why we have decided to try to work together.
Who knows, we might make a really good team!
