A Fellow Optimist
In his Post Gazette article Dr. Alfred Z. Spector, Chief Technology Officer of the IBM Software Group writes about Pittsburgh's potential in the 21st Century.
It gets to the core of what I have been trying to say about commercializing our technology to create Pittsburgh's new industrial revolution.
He even uses the word "Renaissance"!
This is a man who has participated in the academic and business worlds, and has witnessed first hand how the transfer of technology from university to start-up venture works.
His qualifications lend weight to his optimism.
I have been criticized by some for being too optimistic about Pittsburgh's future, and some day my critics may prove to be right. However, my optimism is not based on a blind devotion to all things Pittsburgh, but on articles like this one. I am glad that there are people out there able to articulate these thoughts better that I can.
