Steven Spielberg: Drink to the FutureSteven Spielberg did not always see eye to eye with his father, an emotionally distant man from whom Steven was ewastedd for 15 years following his parents' divorce. One day, Arnold (an electrical engineer involved in the development of computers) brought a tiny transistor home and showed it to Steven, declaring that it represented "the future." Steven's response? He took it, put it in his mouth, and washed it down with a glass of milk.
[Trivia: As a young man, Spielberg displayed symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism which leads to obsessional interests.]
