My dream is to create a free and open source machine translation tool that is so helpful that the United Nations uses it. My theory is that language evolves from the bottom up, and I hope that by combining natural language processing algorithms with machine learning algorithms, genetic algorithms, as well as massive corpora and audio data, we can create much better translation algorithms. I hope to study linguistics and machine learning on the undergraduate level. My back-up plan is investing in open source, building capital, buying out the current commercial competitors in natural language input (such as NaturallySpeaking) and releasing their source under a free software license.
This section has problems with formatting, it's so important that it breaks the rest of the page. I'll be migrating to wordpress someday anyway.

These are the seven must-see movies on the future of business, the Internet, and culture.
Lawrence Lessig @ 23C3 - On Free, and the Differences Between Culture and Code
Jonathan Zittrain @ ISOC-NY - The Future of the Internet—And How to Stop It
Joi Ito @ DLD 09 - On Creative Commons
Lawrence Lessig, Molly S. Van Houweling, James Boyle, Joi Ito, and Jonathan Zittrain @ Berkman - The Commons: Celebrating Accomplishments, Discerning Futures
Thomas Friedman @ MIT OCW - The World is Flat 3.0
Pia Waugh @ VITTA - Closing Keynote: Open Source Futures
Originally I had "Either a James Boyle or a Jimmy Wales or a Mark Shuttleworth or a Cory Doctorow, as well as everything @ TED.com" here. Now, I know that the 7th Movie of Destiny is RiP: A Remix Manifesto.
