But to make perhaps a more personal introduction for a moment, I did my Ph.D. work in Adaptive Routing Algorithms at Harvard twenty years ago. I did my Ph.D. in 1974. When Paul sat down, and I don't know how he did this, but he wrote series of ten reports describing, analyzing and predicting packet switches, based on hardware, adaptive routing algorithms, wireless links between them and really conceived of the whole way that we're planning to build hardware ATM based systems today. So, Paul sees things before other do. Some people think one day at a time.
Some people are good at planning month by month or year by year.
You know you can't ask someone to do a three year plan in a business if they're a one week kind of a person. John entitled this talk Visions of the 21st Century. I am humbled tryin to do justice to such an over-reaching title. I am reminded of tha Wausau Insurance Company TV commercial. An efficiency expert is introduced who is supposed to give a detailed presentation on insurance recommendations.
