The future belongs not to those who talk about it, but to those who make it.<\/p>\n\n
Ted Selker is the legendary inventor who created the TrackPoint\u2014the little red pointing stick on the ThinkPad\u2014and who pioneered \u201ccontext-aware computing\u201d to augment human ability at the MIT Media Lab. One question has run through his entire career: how do you turn an idea into a thing that changes the world?<\/p>\n\n
An idea, as long as it stays in your head, changes nothing. Only when it is prototyped, fails, passes into people\u2019s hands, and dissolves into daily life does the world begin to move. In this keynote, a man who has spent half a century bringing inventions into society shares the process\u2014and the craft\u2014of making invention real. Not academic elegance, not the logic of capital, but the act of building the future with one\u2019s own hands.<\/p>\n\n
The time for being a commentator is over. As the opening of DAY3, \u201cCREATE,\u201d this keynote delivers a message to everyone gathered in Tokai, the heartland of manufacturing: your idea, too, can become a thing that changes the world.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
