November 29, 2006

The Students Intrigued by Technology club will be hosting a special guest speaker this Friday, December 1st, from 12:00-1:00pm in room EW 206 and the campus is invited. Dr. Steven Kurti, research physicist from NAWS, will be giving a talk titled "What will HAL think?".

The famous computer known as HAL in the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". The villain known as SID 6.7 in the movie "Virtuosity". The DNA computer created by professor Emile Chambourd in the book "The Paris Option". Science fiction seems obsessed with futuristic computers, but what will computers look like in 10, 20, or even 30 years? Join us for some imagineering while we pull back the veil of the future to take a peek at what tomorrow's computers may look like.
