Hi everyone :) ,
If you won the $500,000 MacArthur "genius" grant - awarded to people with genius ideas, not past accomplishments, but rather it's an investment in your ideas and potential - so, what would you be most likely to win it for?
I have an interest in re-inventing technological stuff to make it kinder on the environment and more assessable to everyone, no only the wealthy. Science is kind of my "thing."
Those awarded the award are in a wide variety of fields: science, humanities, non-profits, arts and so on.
Oh, and, if you won - what would you do with the cash?

It would be a dream come true for me and may be I would just become mad with joy.
I dont know but to thank God for the gift, I would certainly distribute some money in the poor and needy people of my place.
I feel every sad and wanted to do something for such people whom I see everyday begging on roads.So, i will think that God has choosen me to help them.
