Star Trek star LeVar Burton, better known as Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge, joined Intel senior VP Eric Kim on stage at the third day of IDF to deliver a stirring address to attendees.

He described science fiction as an expression of the power of the human imagination.

“You developers are the dreamers in our culture, so I encourage you to not be afraid to dream that big dream,” he declared.

“And as my friend Patrick Stewart likes to say,” he concluded: “Make it so.”

Somehow, I don't think Geordie's visor ran on Intel hardware or Windows TNG.

Capt. Picard:"What do you see, Geordie?"
Geordie:"Blue everywhere".

Sorry, couldn't resist, it's nearly Friday.
