"12. A REFLECTION
...
"I've lived in a fantastic time to be a research engineer. Many of us have seen our ideas, initially glimmers in our heads, go out into action, intermingle with the works of others and impact the real world. This all happened in an wild burst of innovations in electronics and information technology unlike anything seen before.
Taken together, the works of the scientists, engineers and inventors who created modern computers, communications and the internet have changed the world in wondrous ways. It's heartwarming to see how these technologies are opening up new patterns of communications, collaborations and relationships for the young people of the world. Hopefully, the new tools will make it easier for them to reach out, connect with others and make their own personal passages in life, and thus meet many basic human needs. "
...
" There is always confusion and debate at the frontier as to which direction to move in. Often new methods prove to be unworkable, controversial, unsound. It can seem safer to stay within the existing proven practice, even when that does not meet important human needs. "
...
"Looking back at my lifelong gender explorations we can see a similar process - - - during the lonely and frightening struggle to find my way through the labyrinth of gender - - I approached my problem as I have many others - - by doing research into what is already known, and then experimenting and innovating at the frontier of what it is possible to do - - "
...
"So, remember that great old engineering principle: What works - works! In the end, if the bridge stands, it stands, no matter what others may think! "
