Everything nowadays is a smaller, faster, colder, more complex version of something already predicted to exist last century. We need more Einsteins, Von Neumans, Heavisides etc to kick applied technology in the pants, throw in a whole new paradigm, and open up truly new frontiers other than an atom-sized transistor

We'll always tell our grandkids "You know, in OUR day we had to WAIT for the computers."

Kids: "Really? How long did you wait?"

Grandpa: "Oh, a loooong time. And we used to roast marshmallows over the hot servers!"

“Today’s computer chips use electrons for computing. Electrons are good because they’re tiny,”


Talking to kindergarteners and reporters is the same thing.

“metamaterial that can be “tuned” to change the color of light.”
