Randy’s Pausch “last lecture” in Italian
view project »On September 18, 2007, computer science professor Randy Pausch stepped in front of an audience of 400 people at Carnegie Mellon University to deliver a last lecture called “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”. I’ve become fascinated with this lecture and after Randy lost his battle to cancer I’ve decided to caption it so Italian friends and family could enjoy it too. Just this version has been viewed more the 13K times and across the world million of people became influenced by Randy’s legacy.
