Stephen led an interesting life. Although obviously quite gifted, he was initially not academically driven much, maybe even a bit of a playboy, until he was diagnosed with ALS. He soon got married and started having children and got serious with his studies. I view this diagnosis as a wake up call. He also lived a very, very long life considering his afflictions. His talking machine was invented by an American just about the time Stephen needed one. He was quite bemused by its American accent.
