Not impossible. It's more than a mantra for entrepreneur-visionary-humanitarian Mick Ebeling, whose practical solutions to real-world problems have changed lives. Ebeling and his team at Not Impossible Labs garnered national attention when their low-cost, DIY tool (the Eyewriter) unlocked a paralyzed graffiti artist's talents, allowing him - and, consequently, others - to communicate and create by using just eye movements. Ebeling, who also happens to be the founder of an acclaimed production company, comes to Park City on Friday, January 16 as part of the Park City Institute / Strategic News Service "Future in Review" Speaker Series. The evening, 'Not Impossible: Technology for the Sake of Humanity,' takes place in the intimate Black Box Theater of Park City's Eccles Center; 7:30p.m. Tickets are $25.
