“Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”
This video is a short hour and 15 minutes long. It is Randy Pausch giving a “last lecture” at Carnegie Mellon.
He was a Computer Science professor and a pioneer in the field virtual reality, but that’s not why Tech-for Everyone readers might appreciate it.
This “lecture” has been seen by over a million people and is rated 5 Stars by viewers; and was turned into a book.
Watching it might change your life.
He was 47.
Mr. Pausch was the founder of the Alice project; a free program that teaches kids how to program a computer, and they don’t even know they’re learning programming.. they think they’re writing a story.
Amazing. You can check it out at http://www.alice.org/
• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
