Randy Pausch是美國卡內(nèi)基梅隆大學(xué)的計算機科學(xué)、人機交互及設(shè)計教授。2006年9月,他被診斷患有胰腺癌。2007年9月18日,他在卡內(nèi)基梅隆大學(xué)做了一場風(fēng)靡全美的“最后的演講”,根據(jù)這次演講,他出版的“The Last Lecture”一書則成為亞馬遜網(wǎng)站上最為暢銷的書籍之一。Randy教授所傳達的訊息之所以如此震撼人心,是因為他以誠懇、幽默的態(tài)度去分享他獨特的經(jīng)驗。他談的不是死亡,而是人生中的重要議題,包括克服障礙、實現(xiàn)兒時夢想、幫助別人實現(xiàn)夢想、把握每一個時刻……

Enabling the dreams of others can be done on several different scales. You can do it one on one, the way I worked with Tommy, the Star Wars dreamer. You can do it with 50 or 100 people at a time, the way we did in the Building Virtual Worlds class or at the ETC. And if you have large ambitions and a measure of chutzpah, you can attempt to do it on a grand scale, trying to enable the dreams of millions of people.
I'd like to think that's the story of Alice, the Carnegie Mellon software teaching tool I was lucky enough to help develop. Alice allows introductory computing students, and anyone else, young or old, to easily create animations for telling a story, playing an interactive game or making a video. It uses 3-D graphics and drag-and-drop techniques to give users a more engaging, less frustrating first programming experience. Alice is offered free as a public service by Carnegie Mellon, and more than a million people have downloaded it. In the years ahead, usage is expected to soar.
