In a simulated home environment, potential customers and partners can experience possible consumer technology innovations that are likely to emerge in Microsoft and its partners’ products over the next five to ten years.
Jackie is also the president of the Center for Lifelong Learning, offering speed reading and learning programs that at least triple your reading speed and double your memory. See more at the Center website (http://www.centerforlifelonglearning.info).
Prior to entering the field of education, he studied the planets in our Solar System from one end to the other during a 20-year career in the U.S. space program. He discovered that there may not be a single drop of available fresh water or a breath of fresh air other than on Earth. Humans may one day live on other worlds, but the Earth will be always be our only true home.
Jackie has lectured widely on a variety of topics. He has taught and consulted to many business leaders, numerous organizations, and instructed educators in techniques to supercharge their learning and critical thinking skills.
