<br>
How terrific! I also like that the (1960s era, British) term "white heat" was used to describe "21st c. Technology."<br>
<br>
One quibble: shouldn't they have referred to you as Dr. or Prof. Medina, rather than Ms.? Or is that how the NYT always does things?<br>
<br>
Congrats again!<br>

I was also impressed by the journalist's accurate description of the technology and his understanding that the key "cybernetic" element has been lost in the newer systems, rather than simply assuming that the iPad version must be more sophisticated than something from the 1970s.<br>
