07-16-09, “The Big Finale and a Final Reflection”

   It’s always easy for one to imagine what an experience may be like, but until it’s actually been experienced, you never really know exactly how it’ll all feel or turn out.  This is the perfect way to describe this entire Sci Art program.  Upon applying and being accepted into the camp, I really didn’t know what to expect from the program itself or what the experience as a whole would be like.  However, I’m quite glad to say that it lived up to all of my expectations and even surpassed a few.  Through this program, I’ve met many amazing people, learned incredibly interesting things, and been exposed to a great variety of new experiences.

In a way, this is exactly what the future of nanotechnology may hold.  Although it’s a scientific venture whose possibilities range far and wide and can be imagined by many, no one knows exactly what to expect from it.  While some tout the unimaginable benefits of a nano-powered world, others warn of a doomed world overtaken by these microscopic “beings”.  However, while the future of nanotechnology remains a bit fuzzy at the moment, it is undeniable that this emerging technology offers an endless variety of “what-ifs” and possibilities.  Only until the world gets its first taste of true nanotechnology can it realize exactly what it has to offer.

However, I feel confident moving forward into the future as someone who knows at least a little bit more about nanotechnology and its capabilities and drawbacks.  And most important of all, I realize that without the creativity one finds innately in art, the scientific world can never advance to such a point.
