The beginning words in the TED lecture linked below.
"Looking deep inside nature, through the magnifying glass of science, designers extract principles, processes, and materials, that are forming the very basis of design methodology. From synthetic constructs that resemble biological materials, to computational methods, that emulate neural processes, nature is driving design. Design is also driving nature, in realms of genetics, regenerative medicine, and synthetic biology, designers are growing novel technologies, not foreseen or anticipated by nature.
Bionics explores the interplay between biology and design.
As you can see, my legs are bionic....."
I like his concept of designers, or more specifically, "technology designers". I'm trying push myself as an engineer to be the kind of technology designer that pushes the envelope.
Here's a chaser, if you want to see just the kind of amazing things technology designers are in a position to do right now.

I'm the tower of power, too sweet to be sour. I'm funky like a monkey. Sky's the limit and space is the place!
