tech
I had the opportunity to hear Dean Kamen speak this weekend. I will always know him for the guy that invented the AutoSyringe which allows sick kids I saw on a weekly basis to play. However, he is probably most well-known for Segways.
I had never heard a tech evangelist before but Dean Kamen is definitely one. His philosophy is that technology can solve all the world's problems, particularly, that US should emphasize technology research above the fight against terrorism. His speech was interesting in that he is actively spreading his beliefs and convincing the next generation that technology is the community provider, hope and fulfillment they all need. It reminded us of a cult.
