The Six Millon Dollar Man (a.k.a. Steve Austin) was the result of an opportunity to design a man who was augmented with technology.The 70’s series ran from 1973 to 1978, if you include the first 3 “pilot” episodes that were actually made-for-TV movies.Its use of slow-motion combined with “bionic” sound-effects made Steve Austin (and Lee Majors, the actor who portrayed him) a major cultural icon of the decade.
While the design process of The Six Million Dollar Man was a work of science fiction, business leaders like Neal Travis are constantly considering how new technologies can be implemented to improve current processes.Instead of battling foes in the Dutch countryside, Neal is thinking about how technology can improve community.He knows he can rebuild his community platform – he has the technology.He can make the AIHR Community “better than it was before… better, more engaging, more supportive.”
