 Well, the important thing to realize is that the tools to actually create intellectual and artistic Scientific creations are in everybody's hands. You don't have to influence some government agency or a Hollywood studio You can create a movie Recorded album some disruptive computerized technology you know right in your dorm room and And and that's happening all the time Google was created by a couple of kids. It's just a dorm room project. It was just an experiment. They thought it'd be cool to do So actually find things that you think are cool to do that you have a passion about Knowledge which is really what human beings create and then we change our circumstances with the knowledge we create requires passion to create and To find what you have passion for and it doesn't have to be an engineering project It can be some cultural project the tools for creating cultural Projects are also growing more and more powerful and try to anticipate where technology will be if your project is going to take Three or four years the world will be a very different place three or four years hence I've been involved with reading machines for the blind for 35 years and in 2002 I sat down with the head of the National Federation of the Blind and he said Ray You've been talking about a handheld reading machine that you can take out of your pocket for many years When do you think this will be feasible and I said well according to our models? We'll have the requisite hardware to do this in six years in 2008 And he said well how long do you think it'll take to do the software and I said about six years So he said let's get started so we get started in 2002 Even though the hardware to support this was nowhere to be seen and people were skeptical that it would actually only take six years It seemed like it would take decades So we tried to look where technology would be and we actually caught that train very successfully the cell phones I could support this application came out in 2008 We got the software down on time and we were able to introduce this project It would have taken years longer if we waited until we saw it and It started in 2008 It would be many years and before that project would see the light of day The world is a very different place a few years hence think back now Six seven years ago. Most people didn't use search engines. There were no social networks. No blogs. No wikis Imagine life without so search engines. That sounds like ancient history. That was only six or seven years ago So anticipate where the world will be Design your project for the world three or four years hence You really can't predict the nature of these technologies because they grow in a predictable but exponential manner and The opportunities for change and for making solutions to problems doing projects that may seem impossible Becomes increasingly Powerful and evident And that's that's really a lot of power we have in our hands to solve problems Overcome suffering do creative projects that were impossible My father couldn't even hear his music compositions without raising money and buying an orchestra and now you can command a whole orchestra in your dorm room and The the tools we have to commit to create virtual realities virtual worlds Are getting it more and more powerful and it also puts us more and more in touch with each other So I think it's a very exciting time to be a young person find what you have a passion for find what you have a skill for And all of these different areas will be amplified by these technological developments
