* M.I.T. - where "digital" thrives into the yet unknown

I made my trip across the Atlantic ocean and arrived in Boston, or rather Cambridge, the heart of intelligence. My first day in wonderful early fall weather was dedicated to ride the bike through Harvard, then south into the huge M.I.T. Campus towards Charles river. Strange... at M.I.T., while strolling through sunny courtyards and the endless mesh of amazing architecture, reading short descriptions of what's going on inside the buildings, I feel a bit like when I encountered my first computer 30something years ago!  The founders' dedications and principles on the buildings make me shiver at the thought of endless possibilities arising with the multifold ways human intelligence works and of people who understand that their business billions are well spent here.
From visual arts to medical, biology, chemistry, mathematics, computung, learning, memory and cognition research and a lot more... this seems to be an endless field which gets continuously ploughed and explored here. I could spend days just hovering over amazing book titles at the M.I.T. press bookstore.
But I am not only here to read and study, but to collect interviews, so my US contacts will hopefully make time within the short period of my stay here. Several individuals who made a change in tv design are willing to tell me about it. This should be very interesting, as television in the US was always ahead of us. Europe had still been in war recovery mode when tv entertainment already was in full bloom here. And Americans know how sales work and that everything here has a lot to do with how the product is presented. Television, from the beginning, had to make money.  The actual beginning of television design and marketing happened here. And a lot more is happening here...
