Technology Blog Post Version 0.1

Technology - It is something that is all around us and enables us to accomplish far more with far less resources.  It is truly remarkable what can be done today that was only imaginable not too long ago.  If today's wonders are any indication of where society is going in the near future, I can only imagine what it will be like for my children; Hadley and Grayson.  It is going to be so exciting to watch them immersed in such a wondrous environment that is only going to become increasingly Hi-Tek...it’s hard to imagine it becoming even more Hi-Tek!

That is why I have started this blog...to explore the motivations for technology maturation and propose ways to think about it, advance it, fund it, or even help mature it!


A little on me - I am a technologist of sorts...more of a curious individual that is fascinated by the 'geeky' stuff that makes the world communicate at the speed of light, provides improvements to quality of life, and provides our nation with immense power we are able to project.  By education, I am an Aerospace Engineer...by trade, I started out as an aircraft designer and now I am an innovation dreamer that helps identify problems and matches them with extraordinary ways to solve those problems.


In my quest to understand the field that I work in I developed a series of methods, ways, and perspectives to consider technology maturation.  I wanted to share that information in this blog for the world to ingest, comment, and hopefully criticize as I really enjoy the intellectual banter and discovery of doing things a better way.  My goal with this blog is to discuss my experiences and how I think on subjects of technology.  Nothing more...nothing less.  I hope that others may find this information useful or interesting.


As for the layout of how I will present this information - it is probably going to start out as a smattering of information.  While I am a big thinker sort of guy, I definitely have to use MindMapping to organize my thoughts in a singular vision.  I haven't done this yet with this topic.  I have organized an approach to the art of technology maturation, developed policies, procedures, and recommended strategies from a customer perspective.  I plan to share this too...so please be patient with me as I attempt to document what I consider is my knowledge base of Science and Technology.  I assure you that I will get to version 1.0 at the point when the fuzzy topics of technology merge into an organized, while still jumbled, subject...
