Keynote 1 — Education is not learning facts, but training the mind to think
John Watson · 2017
In engineering, things are fairly black and white; systems either work or they don't; life is relatively simple. In business people get in the way; nothing is easy, nothing is simple and many decisions result in large technical compromises. This talk covers a short professional history highlighting insights gained from being close to the start of the IC business (while it was the wild, wild west) and from tying together a life-long interest in programmable logic and cars with the coming AI/ML evolution. Surprisingly, reconfigurable computing may still hold the keys to the future.
