We start Physics and AP every year talking about why study Physics. What is the relevance of studying all these dead white guys? As you learned in class, physics and the sciences lead to technology.
So your first blog will be on what do you think the future holds as far as technology and science. We have seen an EXPLOSION of information starting back in the 1600's. Everyday new science and technologies bring on more advancement - but really how much can we really achieve? Is there a "ceiling" so to speak? Can we go only so far? Can we continue with the recent "explosion" and what cost(s) will it have on modern societies. Where do you think you fit in to all this?
I found this video a few years ago and I still thinks it pertains. Please watch and listen to Juan Enriquez regarding technology.

Please blog on this video - what is you ideas about the future - where do you see technologies in your lives...say after college, in 10 years, in 20 years, in the year 2050? Can technologies save our economy and modern societies?
