As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others.

When I graduated high school, nearly a half-million people subscribed to 'Popular Electronics' magazine. Soldering up some radio or hi-fi amplifier on the basement workbench was not just a personal passion - a lot of young people were doing the same. The magazine expired in 1999 for lack of interest.

Any passion to collect has some meaning behind it.

For the future, primarily, we must educate people in science, engineering, technology and math.
