This article focuses on views of the author, who is the winner of 2003 Olin Palladium Award, on conducting research in the digital era. At the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia the author met Srinivasan Subramanian, called Srini for short, who has been his good friend ever since. When there was an equation to solve Srini would look at it, think a minute, and write down the solution. He was the mathematical wizard for students. They spend time for nearly three years, learned a lot from each other, wrote a few papers together, and consoled each other when the going got rough.
