Design News has an mp3 interview with Dean Kamen, where he talks about designing for the Third World. If you’re not familiar with Kamen, check out his company DEKA Research. He’s most known for inventing the Segway, but has really done wonders for trying to bring science and technology to the masses, through the FIRST program. He comes across as being one of those exciting, intelligent engineers you’d give anything to work with. Lots of people idolize rock stars and football players, as for me, my idols and heros are people like Dean Kamen and Steve Wozniak. I guess that just makes me an engineer. 🙂
