So for this scholarship I'm applying for there is an essay question asking that we discuss what we feel will be the most important advancement in engineering in the next 25 years. The essay will be judged on whether they agree, your insight into the subject, and the understanding of the widespread application of ideas.
So, thus far I have compiled a few ideas as to what I think may happen in the next 25 years:
Near room-temperature superconductors
Memristors
Devices making clean water available worldwide
Fusion Reactors
Genetically modified retroviruses as treatment for all sorts of diseases
Ditto for Bacteria
Something making MRIs cheaper (not sure what it would be)
This would be a good topic to start discussing. If any of the other Eng. Students would like to know about the scholarship just speak up and I'll post the link.
I don't know about anybody else, but I always thought English was just showing you could make complex sentences with "appropriate" words. Essentially, you write about nothing (at most answer a simple question) and make it like a piece of art as much (as a high-schooler is able to do). I always got good grades in high-school english, but coming to college, I saw my grades tank to "average" (which is actually below the inflated B-average we see now in most classes). Why? The truth was revealed to me by an amazing English prof that I have this quarter. Turns out you need to say something in your paper!
According to him, it's like making a case...but something that is non-trivial. So, you state something that is debatable and make as strong a case (using stuff i dunno like structure...) as possible. Apparently, he says that high-schools and colleges stress different things. One is deep-reading of a novel and the other would be simply churning out a paper that sounds ok. Who knew...I now feel more confident about my paper haha...
Hey Girls,
I have this awesome idea. I figured it wouldn't really appeal to guys very much because we don't care much for our hair - though this might have been applicable to Wei back in the day.
So basically I've thought of a brush that you use for your hair, but in the handle you can pour Shampoo or Conditioner!!! Then you can dispense either or by pressing a button. The shampoo gel will dispense through pores at the tip of each bristle to ensure a deep scrubbing! At the same time you can ensure your hair gets adequate amount of shampoo!!!!
Who's willing to help market this ingenious idea? I got a catchy name too!

It was mentioned in the google discussion that the "islam is" was possibly removed to avoid angering people. Even if that is not the case, we've seen often in current events moments of self censorship on the topic of Islam (for example, the book the Jewel of Medina or the Dutch Muhammod cartoons). What is the significance of this?
