Inquiries and Ideas
March 1, 2011
Dear MIT,
In light of your call to Scientific Research Convergence Renaissance
is to establish a communication. As the military says "communication is
the key." How? Through a transparent forum: a wish list for each
science field and subfield so that they can just cut to the chase of
what is needed from other fields so that everyone can help each other
solve things in a more connected and communicative way. It will take
time to read through journals, articles so if each journal or author can
summarize explicitly what is necessary somewhere in their writings and
compile their wishes into a master wish list, which is possible now with
today's technology by utilizing Weblogs/sites.
There should be a way to track this so talk to your website builders to
create a registry in which people have to register to post or access so
that they can track who reads more sensitive or harmful scientific
wishes. The world is not so pretty and some technologies can be used by
the wrong hands. Every person should have the ability to post up their
input spurred by curiosity that may be the one important question or
perspective to a researcher. The only problem is man power: who has the
power to say something is valid AND who has the time to go through all
this while juggling their research. Maybe utilizing IBM’s supercomputer
to sort out the categorical information into discrete categories for
people to have easier access is a viable solution. I'd talk to Google's
open minded and innovative staff to collaborate a system.
(I mean seriously, do you want H a r v a r d or any other ivy league to develop this, seriously? You're better than this. Get your game up. Just kidding.- retroactively added :P)
Sincerely,
Someone who cares
