My grandfather on my mother's side was a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology my other grandfather was a lawyer, and one time Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives.

My graduate studies were carried out at the California Institute of Technology.

In consequence, science is more important than ever for industrial technology.

I hated science in high school. Technology? Engineering? Math? Why would I ever need this? Little did I realize that music was also about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, all rolled into one.

People are looking to have more meaning in their lives. It is a sign the technology community is coming of age.
