I think you can put together a list, hopefully a long list, of people whose careers would've been very different had they not been exposed to Bret's work. He introduces you to a vast network of ideas, most of which, if you're like me, you only start to appreciate after you've seen a bit of Bret's work. He makes those ideas accessible, beside furthering them on his own. From Engelbart's idea of "aligning human systems and tool systems, with workers spending time improving their tools for improving their tools, leading to accelerating rate of progress," to Papert's brilliant work on the nature of learning and play, ideas that focus my direction and give me joy, I can't help but always remind myself that I may have never learned of these ideas had it not been because of Bret's work. Thank you Bret.
