I too became technical in a round about kind of way/ Using story, like you have, to draw comparisons between tech (with or even without code) is hugely important when your end game is "help people get over the fear tech induces".
I 3'd this article and would love to see / hear your presentation! Well done.
I think lots of us are interested in opening up things that have secrecy built into them. Some secrets are necessary, I know. But generally – particularly in the business world – secrecy is just preconditioned. Seems a bit sad that we aren't allowed to tell our own personal stories or share intellectual "property" that we thought up b/c the standard is that organizations "own" our ideas. Let us know how you navigate any backlash!
