SUMMARY:Ralph Baer\, Baer Consultants
DESCRIPTION:Ralph Baer\nA long lifetime of developing electronic consumer products has taken Ralph Baer from vacuum tube through microprocessor designs. Although the technology has undergone vast changes\, the underlying motivation for\, and execution of\, the process has not changed radically. Baer cites numerous examples of specific product designs that made it all the way through the process to a successful product and draws some conclusions from that experience that shed some light on the continuum of invention\, development\, and marketing novel product ideas.

SUMMARY:2009 Julius Schwartz Lecture with J. Michael Straczynski
DESCRIPTION:J. Michael Straczynski\nThe second annual Julius Schwartz Lecture brings J. Michael Straczynski\, the creator of the cult science fiction hit Babylon 5. The Julius Schwartz Lecture is an annual event held to honor an individual who has made significant contributions to the culture\, creativity and community of comics and popular entertainment. \nThe lecture is hosted by the Comparative Media Studies program at MIT and was founded to honor the memory of longtime DC Comics editor Julius “Julie” Schwartz\, whose contributions to our culture include co-founding the first science fiction fanzine in 1932\, the first science fiction literary agency in 1934\, and the first World Science Fiction Convention in 1939. Schwartz went on to launch a career in comics that would last for well over 42 years\, during which time he helped launch the Silver Age of Comics\, introduced the idea of parallel universes\, and had a hand in the reinvention of such characters as Batman\, Superman\, the Flash\, Green Lantern\, Hawkman and the Atom. \nThe event is typically structured as a short lecture presented by the honored speaker\, followed by a question-and-answer discussion between the speaker and the head of the Comparative Media Studies program\, media scholar Henry Jenkins III. This will be followed by an open question-and-answer session between the lecturer and the audience. The inaugural speaker for the series was New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman.
