These interconnections can change everything about how we see the world, how the world sees us, and how we work together. Where some people might see "big brother," I see empowerment -- empowerment of groups and individuals to improve quality of life and reduce our impact on the planet. * * * * * Megan Smith oversees teams that manage early-stage partnerships, explorations and technology licensing.
