Off Topic But On Point: Professor Randy Pausch’s “Last Lecture”

Posted by: danc on Jul 25 2008

Rob Bushway of GottaBeMobile put up a post a bit ago that Carnegie Mellon computer science Professor Randy Pausch died today after a fight with cancer.

Rob linked to Pausch’s “Last Lecture” and I have been watching it for the past hour.

Rarely have I seen a man who combined wisdom, humor and story-telling in such a powerful way.

It is far too easy to lose sight of the fact that the amazing mobile tech we so love doesn’t just appear. It is created by individuals with vision, dreams and imagination. Clearly Professor Pausch was one of the best.

If you haven’t seen it here is the link to Rob’s post and the lecture it is worth the 1:16 minutes.
