Computing History

We all started in the same place

you are in today.

Everyone has the same self

doubts and no one’s perfect.

And when you meet your heroes

and when you work with them

and they treat you as a peer,

learn from it.

Keep moving. If you’re

dreaming the right dream,

you’re on the right path.

I’ve been there before,

it’s tough, keep going.

These people helped me

to become the person I am.

How can we take this same idea

of bold dramatic change

to help create a better society?

We are going to have

to invent those things

and do it in all of these other domains that are

being touched or revolutionized by technology.

It may seem daunting, it may seem difficult,

it may seem impossible,

but if you just find the right people

and keep seeking out

knowledge and advice

keep staying open

to make a better world

regardless of where you come from,

great things can happen.
