The Last Lecture of Technology Guru Randy Pausch

By Tim Feathers

This is a tremendous lecture from Randy Pausch, given as part of the "Last Lecture" series, where professors are asked to speak to their audience as if they were giving their last lecture, on the topics that are most important to them.   Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University computer-science professor, had coincidentally just  been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and is expected to live just a few months, making his presentation particularly poignant.  This is one brilliant guy, and he provides his audience with an entertaining view of life's lessons, delivered in an upbeat presentation that will give you a fresh outlook on life, work, and personal fulfillment.  The talk is titled "How to Live Your Childhood Dreams".  Not your typical fare for the TechKnowledgy Blog, but the fact that Pausch is a virtual reality pioneer (visit Alice) was enough of an excuse to share this with you all.  It is a gem.
