“Jeff Bezos Is Indulging His 11-Year-Old Self”

March 21st, 2012

Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry:

If you had asked an 11-year-old Jeff Bezos to let his imagination run wild and think of the stuff that he would most dream to have as an adult, he might have said:

  • The world’s biggest bookstore! Maybe even a bookstore that can beam any book directly to your hand in an instant (and movies and music, too!).
  • A giant sky computer that can imitate human intelligence.
  • A spaceship.
  • …And maybe even a robot army.

Of course any adult would have smiled slightly condescendingly, patted him on the head and helpfully explained that these things aren’t possible. 

So thank you, Jeff Bezos, for realizing your dreams and showing the impossible is, indeed, possible.
