“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”

Alan Kay

Actually, there’s more to this quote:

“Don’t worry about what anybody else is going to do… The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Really smart people with reasonable funding can do just about anything that doesn’t violate too many of Newton’s Laws!”

— Alan Kay in 1971

Kay was inventor of Smalltalk which was the inspiration and technical basis for the Apple MacIntosh.

    That got a giggle out me :)

    I appreciate ““The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” I am living such words right now. And it only empowers and excites me even more to see the actions I am taking spoken in wise words. It’s like a permission slip and validation to keep doing what I am doing!

    ~Thank you~
