Allen Newell - Desires and Diversions
Channel: Scott Armstrong
Date: 2011-09-04

A timeless talk by Allen Newell on living a scientific life and on keeping your personal and professional goals in mind while dealing with personal and professional diversions (and distractions).

I first saw this talk (video tape) in the early 1990s as part of an Artificial Intelligence course that I was taking through the University of Maryland.
