Well, maybe I misspoke when I said ‘rock star’. He’s a nerd ‘rock star’. He is a physicist
instead of a lyrist. He is a futurist instead of a musician. He’s on the Science
Channel and the Discovery Channel instead of MTV or CMT. He has a PhD instead
of a tattoo. But don’t let that fool you he is a rock star.
When I found out that he was going to be speaking at UT Arlington
I was excited. The tickets (free) sold
out fast. I was lucky to get stand by. When
I arrived, I never seen the place so packed for a speaker.
When he spoke, we listened. He spoke about an exciting
future where technology is a friend and not our enemy. He spoke of wonderful advances
that were not that far off. I was so
glad I got the chance to listen to him.
After the lecture he signed. The line was long. After an
hour, I handed over my book and a photo. He looked at it and smiled. He signed and I excitedly left. I just made
my rock star smile. How cool is that?
