- This isn't all that important, but since there is the discussion of PR, I
- thought i would share what i have done to boost the education of nanotech.
- As a high school debater we ran an affirmative case which advoa
- extensive R&D for nanotech so that it could be used to clean up pollution.
- It was such a great case that nanotech turned into a culture on our squad.
- We called ourselves "nanarchists" (not having read the jan. 89 Omni). We
- later found the Omni article and decided to make t-shirts. We cut out the
- picture of Drexler and put him on the front of the t-shirt. We also took
- his "nanarchist" quotation and put it on the back. It has served some education
- because people are always asking "who is that guy?" I explain nanotech and
- tell them to read books. I know three people who are reading engines of creation
- Nanotech has had a really profound influence on debate in both the high school
- and college level. No one is caught dead with out nanotech files. I plan on
- going into molecular biology, and after reading Nanosystems, i see the
- possibility of making that my future. My suggestion, get youth like myself
- interested. That is where all the brain power of the future resides.
