John Hench
A quote from an interesting new article on Jim Hill: http://jimhillmedia.com/article.php?id=1831
One of the most vocal spokesmen for Epcot was Imagineer John Hench. In a variety of interviews in the early 1980s, Hench stated that he believed the central motivating key to EPCOT is "survival--human survival--yours and mine. It has been pointed out that the human is unique among Earth's species in that he survives by the superior power of his mind, his power to reason and his imagination. His yearning to know and explore the world and worlds around him is the proper exercise of" Epcot.
It is true, Epcot has strayed from it's original meaning...perhaps we strive to showcase the relationship of man and machine? Good/bad, the history and where it can take us? Ways in which man needs technology and ways in which man can use it to save mankind and the earth? I love Hench.
