Ibuka- Masaru,the founder of SONY ,is one of the most creative person in Japan. He says the mission of engineer is "Godhand". It means that, engineers make products,which doesn't exist, on behalf of the God.
He also mentioned what is the mission of manufacturing.
The mission is to enrich the human mind by means of making products.
I've deeply moved by his philosophy.
Sony is in trouble in these days. Sony shuldn't forget his ideal, I think.
