PHOTOGRAPH BY DAN FORBES * OR MOTHER OR UNCLE OR GRANDPARENT What a difference a few decades make: Geeks are no longer social out- casts. Indeed, my obsessions have seeped far enough into the main- stream that even my kids share them. My sons’ passion for exploring every last detail of the role-playing video- game Skyrim mimics my own love for pen-and-paper D&D campaigns. They race to the latest superhero movies at the multiplex, just as I frequented the comics shops for the source material. And my tech skills now let me play IT manager for their devices, which when I was young existed only in science fiction. Yes, my kids actually think I’m cool. Well, about some things. They still recoil in horror when I wear my Jedi robe. (It’s very comfy!) But rais- ing geeks goes beyond teaching them the difference between Darths Vader and Maul. It means teaching them an empowering worldview. It means showing them how things work and that with a little research, determina- tion, and trial and error, they can bend the world to their will. It means rais- ing them with the maker call to arms echoing in their ears: “If you can’t open Before I was a geek it, you don’t own it!” It means getting dad, I was a geeky them to approach problems techni- kid—with all the cally and solve them with imagina- tion, which makes anything possible. reative; c classic credentials.

  • Exploring the Relationship Between State-Of-The-Art, Technological and Commercial Feasibility, and the Restatement’S Reasonable Alternative Design Requirement
    “FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT, ORVILLE!”: EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STATE-OF-THE-ART, TECHNOLOGICAL AND COMMERCIAL FEASIBILITY, AND THE RESTATEMENT’S REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE DESIGN REQUIREMENT RICHARD C. AUSNESS* INTRODUCTION Of course Wilbur never told Orville to fasten his seat belt. Not only did the first Wright Flyer have no seat belts, it did not even have seats!1 Orville steered the Wright Flyer I from a prone position, not sitting up.2 Nor was the Wright brothers’ flying machine equipped with such useful safety features as brakes, landing gear, a radio, ailerons, or even much of a tail.3 In fact, if the truth be told, the Wright brothers’ airplane was a flying deathtrap. The good news for both modern pilots and their passengers is that aircraft technology, including safety technology, has progressed enormously since 1903. Aircraft manufacturers have now incorporated many forms of technology, such as radar, global positioning navigation systems, transponders, radios, anti-lock braking systems, and fire-resistant insulation in order to make their products safer. Unfortunately, progress has not been as impressive in other areas. Consider punch presses. Notwithstanding the fact that these machines cause hundreds of injuries in the workplace each year, many punch presses continue to employ Rube Goldberg-like devices such as “pullbacks” to protect punch press operators from serious injury.4 Why has safety technology improved so dramatically over the last hundred years for airplanes while punch press safety technology apparently has not? One explanation for this curious result is that product manufacturers effectively control the pace of technological development, including the development of safety-related technology by deciding how much to invest in research and development.5 At the same time, the experience of aircraft and punch press * Dorothy Salmon Professor of Law, University of Kentucky College of Law.

Harris. “Visitors will investigate the myth, conduct an experiment and see many artifacts from the popular TV show.” As seen in the Discovery Channel’s Emmy®-nominated TV series “MythBusters,” the exhibition creates hands-on, interactive experiences for guests of all ages by combining scientific facts with innovative, family-friendly displays. For 14 years, the TV show featured 3,000 experiments in more than 260 episodes and tested more than 1,100 myths before ending its run in March. “MythBusters” episodes can now be seen on “Science Channel.” The show’s co-hosts Adam Savage, Jamie Hyneman, Tory Belleci, Kari Byron and Grant Imahara took scientific investigation to exciting new levels by proving or exploding myths using their highly experimental approach and extensive backgrounds in special effects.
