Wholesale vs retail...
Posted by Joe Johnson.   [PICTURE: SAME | NEW | HELP]
Engineer on team #47, Chief Delphi, from Pontiac Central High School and Delphi Automotive Systems. Posted on 8/15/2000 7:18 PM MST In Reply to: Re: Excuse me posted by Justin on 8/15/2000 4:21 PM MST: Actually, Dean is very candid about his mission in starting FIRST. Making a TV friendly sport was very much on his mind. As Justin points out, the end result is not TV as a goal, but rather TV as a tool to change the culture of America (and the world). Dean's vision for marketing technology careers wholesale (via TV and other mass media) rather than retail (via science fairs, etc.) is one of the main reasons I am such a FIRST zeolot. I really believe #1 that the goal is worthy and #2 that the plan can work. So... I do not think it is corrupting the vision of FIRST to make changes to the format that will help make it more TV friendly, rather I think that that is an essential part of the vision. Joe J. |
