Clifford Stoll
Quotes from his extraordinary presentation:
The first time you do something, it's science.
The second time, it's engineering.
A third time, it's just being a technician.
I'm a scientist, once I do something I do something else.
If you really want to know what the future's going to be, don't ask a technologist, a scientist, a physicist. Don't ask someone who's writing code. If you want to know what society is going to be like in 20 years, ask a kindergarten teacher. They know. In fact don't ask any kindergarten teacher, ask an experienced one. They're the ones that know what society is going to be like in another generation.
