Inspirators
GridByte™ is a learning organization. Our people are inspired by many innovators and thinkers.
Here are a few.
| Muhammad Yunnus (1940- ), Father of microcredit, 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Winner |
 |
“One day our grandchildren will go to museums to see what poverty was like.” - quoted in "The Independent," 5 May 1996 |
Yunnus inspires us in so many ways! His tenacious vision to advance, and act on, the then (1970's) radical conviction that "microcredit is a basic human right" taught us so much about our potential to alleviate poverty. His vision guides our philanthropy--lend a helping hand, don't give a handout. http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/news/headlines/yunus.shtml.

| Richard W. Hamming (1915-1998), Mathematician and one of the “Fathers” of modern computing |
 |
"The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers." − Richard W. Hamming (1915-1998), Mathematician and one of the fathers of modern computing |
Hamming’s words are the core guiding light for GridByte™. By extension, we say that all our optimization work on computers seeks to make computer technology entirely ubiquitous in the acquisition of knowledge.
|
| Edward R. Tufte (1942- ) |
 |
"Good design is clear thinking made visible." Edward R. Tufte, (lecture series) |
Tufte's writings and teachings challenge us to present complex information effectively and simply. His work has taught us that our computer screens act as constricting funnels for acquisition of knowledge. This reality has inspired a series of R&D projects on desktop ergonomics.
