I really want to do something that will bring the world forward in some way, and right now that has me pointed at trying to put my personal effort towards nanotechnology.
Although I disagree that this is the best direction for marginal technological development (in particular, I don’t know if we’re smart enough to not do nanotech horribly wrong), I expect you’ll learn some extremely important things in the process of studying...
It might not be. Of course I don’t feel like I’m on track to help suddenly make atomically precise, self replicating nanomachines. But it would be nice to get closer to some mechanically precise manufacturing, or just certain better materials for some applications. Also I could make some money.
I am an early engineering undergrad, so right now I’m mostly taking intro to anything at all classes and not doing any real work. I wouldn’t be surprised if I changed directions at all.
Welcome!
