Returning to EPCOT, we had just one more ride to hit: Spaceship Earth ($ponsored by Seimens, of course). I am so glad we did. Such a better bookend on the day and a classic Disney head-fake. The kids were entertained and learned about how the development of information technology led to where we are today and will be in the future. Very cool ride. There was one piece that would prompt a chuckle from most folks. Right there with the development of papyrus and Gutenberg’s movable type and Bell’s telephone, was a visionary inventor working in a California garage to invent the first personal computer. Nice story. Too bad it WASN’T Steve Jobs, but his buddy Woz who did the heavy lifting of creating the very first Apple Computer. Steve was, is, and forever will be a vision guy and promoter. Those otherdetails can be hired out.
Okay, just one more….
