Neil Gershenfeld

I liked his book on Physics of Information Technology. He was also mentioned by one of our distinguished faculty. I agree with his idea that creativity must be harnessed from all the so called "consumers" and fab labs need not be expensive rooms filled with complicated equipment. All that is really required is to make people aware about how they can just "tinker" and invent with almost anything. One excellent example of such a place is NYC resistor. Enjoy!
