IBM Fellow Grady Booch: Why Engineering?

[iLOVENATURE2011]

this video about engineering is very educational.... =)

[WJT1955]

Visual noise, blah, blah, blah, IBM buys people and locks them away in museums (now virtual museums) making sure they don't benefit anything except maybe Big Blues bottom line.

Thank you for coming up with engineering related videos. I hope we can grow more relevant and educational alternative engineering videos online.

Amazing, inspiring. I want to study software engineering. Can't wait!

[gbooch]

then don't wait ;-) there are plenty of books and papers you can read, and you can always get your feet wet by contributing to an open source project.

[fudge867]

thanks for your comment. I have started! And sweet idea, I most certainly will contribute to an open source project. I need to study a bit more though :)

A great inspiring lecture on science, engineering and technology from a true master. Incredibly simple and insightful.

Thanks a ton

Thanks for this video, Grady! Not only is knowledge growing exponentially, but the rate of growth is accelerating exponentially as well. The demand for scientists and engineers will grow steadily to push that horizon and they will be the rock stars of the next generation. What an exciting time to be alive!

Enjoyed the video - content and delivery method. It helps me see where we've been and that we're still going strong with innovation ... I plan to share this with some students we mentor at the University of KY. Thanks for sharing this great story.

Good thinking and excellent example of your creativity. We need people like you in all walks of our lives. Maybe one day people like you will find a way to end the suffering of the people who have no health insurance or ones that can not afford health insurance. Good software can shave millions and provide a way to empower consumers instead of being victimized by extreme greed of select companies that thrive on sick and the poor. Some thing new or innovative idea will change that one day.

3:00-3:04 the body language and eye movement are very realistic, can't you get his mouth to move? its irks me.

[gbooch]

irks me too ;-) we had a pilot error in filming the SL clips, wherein we forgot to set the option to record the client-side facial animations.

What is the music at the end of this video?

[gbooch]

this is a piece composed by sandia beaumont (that's her SL avatar name) for me.
