epiphany His wake-up call.

What we need to convey: At the end of this section we need to feel Doug's goal: Important problems are often both complex and urgent. We need to solve them collectively.

Mood: The mood of this section is initially that of frustration - a suitably worthwhile mission is not to be found, they're all too complex! And revelation - its the general complexity of important problems that's the problem!

Background: This is the core of the story, in terms of what Doug is about. It shows his character in how he looked for a worthwhile task. It shows his knowledge through his radar work and his understanding of computers and engineering. It shows his genius in the simplicity of his solution.

Against the backdrop of the start of the cold war and the full war in Korea, a vision for helping us work together to solve problems is born.

Interviewee's: Cannot think of any. Maybe a historian or something?

Visuals: This is where we will benefit from computer graphics. I will see what I can do and who to talk to. Fleur, you talk with your friend. We need to show the 'act' of putting a radar screen in front of the computer so one user could use it and communicate with others.

Old radars, computers etc. I think a visit to the tech museum in San Jose for this would make sense.

: One Saturday it dawned on him: Boy, the world is complex, jeez, the problems are getting more complex and urgent and have to be dealt with collectively - we have to - deal with them collectively.

So here came the crusade: how to deal with maximizing the improvements we could make for mankind's abilities to solve complex, urgent problems collectively.
