A big thanks to the Calgary Science School for inviting me to participate as a speaker in their Forging Connections workshop yesterday and today. The conference was a fantastic event combining “the art of science” with the “science of art.”
In honour of the event, and out of respect for Steve Jobs, I would like to share the following quotes. Despite being a firm Microsoft girl (I don’t even own an iPod- I have a Zune), I’d like to take a moment to recognize the passing of a technology giant.
“People from technology don’t understand the creative process that these companies go through to make their products, and they don’t appreciate how hard it is. And the creative companies don’t appreciate how creative technology is; they think it’s just something you buy. And so there is a gulf of understanding between the two of them.”
“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who
are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
