I think Jim stopped short of Cold Fusion like discovery.So many possibilities. Flying car would fit, but that seems too crazy, even for the Madman. I was hoping for next generation data storage, but hard to see how that would impact travel. Perhaps it's a energy conversion technology that would provide massive amounts of power with minimal consumption of resources, ala cold fusion.
Whatever it is, I applaud the Madman for looking at the bigger picture and swinging for the fences. Most of the world's largest entities have little concern beyond next quarter's numbers. IMO, true innovation usually requires a level of risk public companies eschew. RED Digital, in part, came to life because Jim believed in the concept and didn't have to convince a board of directors that it would pay off quickly. These days very few people have the vision, resources, leadership skills and free hand to drive significant change. Those few, like Jim, who are agents of meaningful progress, deserve our support. Just hope I can be #19 in the queue again ;-)
Cheers - #19
