I made this presentation as a part of series of lectures I gave in conjunction with IEEE aimed at College Students. I used the slides as background to detail my experiences, along with presenting the LMS used by my former employer (TCI). Note: I have used images made by people more creative/funnier than me, and have used the citations or have written to the people asking for permission, in case anyone needs confirmations.
