You Think I'm Crazy When I Connect the Dots
Humans tell immortal stories about figures in the sky. Illusions are created by drawing imaginary lines from one point of light to another and another and so on.
Connecting the dots illuminates a pattern and tells a story. For instance, do you understand the following 'lights in the nighttime sky'?
Alnitak - a triple star system located at a distance of several hundred parsecs from the Sun
Alnilam - a massive, blue supergiant star some 2,000 light-years distant
Mintaka - a multiple-star system some 1,200 light-years from the Sun
Three seemingly singular points of light, to us, form the belt of the constellation Orion - visible throughout the world.
We are adept at making connections and telling stories - it is in our nature.
At first, industries appear unrelated and vaguely disconnected. But just like the constellations, when observed from afar and with a fanciful imaginative eye connected, great stories are revealed.
As more disparate items
converge, a common thread(technology) is observed between and defined.
