I heard that and I thought: here is a man who has been happily married for a long time.
Not that the First Lady has ever been wrong about anything.
Just like my wife. Never wrong. Not even when she decided last month that in a family with fourkids, what was missing in our lives was a third rescue dog.
That was an outstanding decision, honey. And I love you.
The third and last thought I want to leave you with is that not every problem has a high-techsolution. I guess this is obvious. But: it is really?
If anybody has a right to think we can pretty much tech support the world’s problems into submission, it’s you. Think of the innovations that got their start at MIT or by MIT alums: the World Wide Web. Nuclear fission. Condensed soup. (This is true! You should be proud.) But the truth is, we can’t science the shit out of every problem.
There is not always a freaking app for that.
Take water again as an example. People are always looking for some scientific quick fix for the problem of dirty and disease-ridden water. A “pill you put in the glass,” a filter, or something likethat. But there’s no magic bullet. The problem’s too complex.
Yes, there is definitely, absolutely a role for science. There’s incredible advances being made in clean water technology. Companies and universities are getting in on the game. I’m glad to know thatprofessors like Susan Mercott at D-Lab are focusing on water and sanitation.
