Independent Research

Value your dreams and be in the habit of examining them. Today's computers are uninspired machines that do what people tell them to do. Their main advantage is that they can complete long series of simple tasks very quickly compared to our plodding pace, were we to perform the same procedures. (And many of them can work in parallel!) However, computers—as we create and program them today—do not innovate or dream; they simply execute instructions that originated in the minds of people like us.

People and computers are a highly flammable combination. Dreams are sparks that ignite paradigm-shifting bonfires. What explosions will your dreams tonight cause tomorrow?
  1. What's your dream?
