I was alive before…

The other day I started to wonder: what will I tell my kids or my grandkids one day? What will I tell them I was alive before?

I was alive before kids made organisms in their garage for fun
before programming was done by the young and the old
before Arduino was a household name
before cars drove themselves
before computers were cheap
before computers were quantum-computing
before computers talked back
before everyone cared about their shared resources, their climate
before comprehensive healthcare
before the internet was ubiquitous
before the majority of people were online
before our buildings sensed and listened to us
before artificial intelligence

What are you alive before?

I got accepted for a full scholarship to the BIF-8 conference!

From their site:

“

Inspired Conversation

Two days. Thirty storytellers. Over 400 innovators, troublemakers, entrepreneurs, inventors, and transformation artists.

BIF-8 is a national gathering of amazing people who are driven by their passion, creativity, and smarts to create value in entirely new ways. Believing in the power of stories to change the world, the BIF Summit is a storytelling jam, peppered with tales of personal discovery, innovation, and transformation.

Now in its eighth year, the BIF Summit has earned it reputation as “one of the top 7 places to watch great minds in action” (according to Mashable). The summit provides participants with the space to be curious and crazy, get inspired, and collide with unusual collaborators.”
