Nanotech Jobs Online

Welcome to Nanotech Jobs Online. Nanotech Jobs Online provides information about the emerging nanotech age – with nanotech videos, articles, and conversations and chatter about nanotechnology in general. Before this century started, any information about nanotechnology was restricted to professional scientists, university professors, and hobbyists. Laymen were considered to have a lack of proper knowledge of nanotech. As the average consumer saw technological devices become smaller and cheaper, more people started to become curious about nanotechnology. More patents about nanotechnology-related inventions started to be processed at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and companies started seeing the benefits of nanotechnology in their products.

Ray Kurzweil, one of our most followed technologsts, states the beginning of the Nanotech Age as the year 2025. An example of increasing capabilities and decreasing prices is a text-to-speech computer program that went from requiring months of training time and costing over $1000 to requiring minutes of training time and costing under $50.

Nanotech Jobs will be numerous and specialized by industry. For instance, pollution will be cleaned thanks to nanotechnology scrubbing away more than 200 years of toxins, chemicals, and other pollutants from our land, sea, water, and ozone layer. These elements were caused by industrialization and could be removed completely and permanently through the judicious use of nanobots designed to filter pollution from the pure air, pure water, or pure land. For other industries, see the links above (Food and Drug, Sports, …)

Are students really getting an “education” from educational institutions?

Question by kevin41890: Are students really getting an “education” from educational institutions?
If you’ve ever listened to Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall (“We don’t need no education/We don’t need no thought control) then you already have a gist of what I am talking about.

As an undergraduate student I feel like I am a memorization machine. I read the book, I pass the test. Read, pass. Take in, spit out. Essentially that’s all I do. I’ve taken honors classes and I still come out in the top of my class. But for what? To work my way up in society? To get a “good-paying job” where I’ll be taking in a buffet of information and spitting it up in chunks? I feel highly pressured (at least at Georgia Tech) due to the grades I need to obtain in order to get a specific degree. And not only the university, but also corporate America makes me feel like I’ll be a degree-less, jobless (or low-paid) “lower class citizen” (with undertones implying I’ll be unimportant/ incompetent or something) if I don’t graduate I know I can make the grades, but I’m tired of the take in/spit out technique.

This strict, structured “educational” regime in not what living is about. Living is being, and you can’t “be” when you are what your mother, father, teacher, or degree tells you to be. Since I am open to learning and exploring, does my education have to revolve around one specific subject? Do I actually need a degree? What is wrong with being jobless? Is money really what will bring me happiness? I’m in a conundrum from which I am trying to break free. In the meantime, I have decided that being an artist or English major would at least give me more versatility in these modern times than a biologist or doctor would (this means switching schools).

I understand the need for jobs such as farming, clothes-making, housebuilding, etc. I know these jobs sound “prehistoric” compared to nanotechnology, radiology, genetic engineering, microbiology, etc, but that’s because they were; they have been around since the dawn of human civilization because they are essential to living.

So, back to my question. Why are so many children/young adults pressured by society and government to believe that getting a specific degree in college is what education and life is all about? Why do we have to work in one field of general knowledge? Why do we need to train our brains extensively in order to be successful as a “master” or “doctor” in that field? Why do we need to have these high-paying, specific jobs? Is it for the money? The power? The recognition in society? Are any of these truly necessarily to being who you want to be and living happily? What about self-learning or learning from those around you? Can’t we all be students/teachers to each other? Or does everything have to revolve around how much money we can get from our jobs?

What’s your problem, kid? Be thankful you aren’t digging ditches somewhere. Maybe you are a bad student, and so you are just venting/whining.

The Nanotech War (Star Trek Voyager)

Throughout human history, mankind has turned its goals and dreams toward exploration. With wagon trains, ships, satellites and starships, humanity has chosen to seek out the new frontier, to explore new worlds, and to go where no human has gone before-even to the furthest reaches of the Delta Quadrant. There, Captain Janeway and the crew of the Starship Voyager have discovered many strange and wondrous civilizations…but few as alien as the Chiar.
