If I wasn't a professional scientist, I'd be an amateur scientist. But plan B was to go into computers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
So I decided on science when I was in college.
I thank God for not making me a computer scientist.
But while doing that I'd been following a variety of fields in science and technology, including the work in molecular biology, genetic engineering, and so forth.
Sometime in the future, I am a hundred percent certain scientists will sit down at a computer terminal, design what they want the organism to do, and build it.
I knew I wanted to be a scientist. Which kind of scientist was the question.
Software Engineering might be science; but that's not what I do. I'm a hacker, not an engineer.
I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains.
I am not a scientist. I am, rather, an impresario of scientists.
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
Well, of course I would choose to be the top scientist in my field.
