That article is awesome! Its very well aligned with my views about education, business, career, and technology (people ask me why I don't like working for UTC and its hard for me to explain, but this article nails it!). I already have ideas for products and I have done a little market research... when I go back to NU this summer I plan on using the resources the entrepreneur professors there can provide and possibly start something up before I graduate (2 years, no problem!)

p.s. I also learned a lot about emergine robot technology and business possibilities by attending this event this past week in Boston:
www.roboevent.com. Check it out for conference materials, you may learn something too!
