Sullivan's classic account of his 65 day, 1,361-mile solo backpacking trek across Oregon has been chosen by the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission as one of Oregon's "100 Books", the most significant literary works in state history.

Its a known fact that computers can store exponential amounts of information on their hard-drives. But our human brains have a set capacity and just cannot compete against technology on this front. Engineers and scientist are discovering ways to model our human brains and integrate certain aspects of it to create what we know as "neural networks". Take this opportunity to learn about the next big innovation in technology and real-world applications of the next potential trillion-dollar industry (artificial intelligence) that will take the world by storm.

The world is constantly changing and evolving.
