A great little portrait of the inventor of digital cameras - Steven Sasson. A lot of what he has to say is true of inventing or designing anything. Some of my favorite quotes:
"The key when you're putting across an idea, you have to understand the culture you're dealing with first and foremost... and to put only the essential elements of your idea out there so it doesn't get confused."
"Be aware that your invention is in an environment where the rest of the world is inventing along with you, and so, by the time the idea matures it will be in a totally different world."
