Pecha Kucha Presentations

Going through the Pecha Kucha presentations of the class were very interesting.  As I was going through the presentations I noticed a couple of things rang out for me.

1) The styles of the presentations:  Even though we were all given the same link for the description of a Pecha Kucha presentation there was still a lot of different interpretations of what this meant.  Most specifically, some people struggled with getting away from text on their slides.
2) Although their inventions or impact to their fields were very different there was a common these among the different innovators. Perseverance.  All of these inventors had perseverance, almost to the point of obsession that drove them to achieve their dreams.
3) Belief in human potential.  Several of the inventor presentations I watched all of the inventors focused on how their work could positively impact the lives of other people,  examples include Salk, Nobel, and Sikorsky.
