INTRODUCTION TO SCINECE FICTION AND CYBERPUNK

As astronomer and science advocate Carl Sagan once said, “We live in a society exquisitely dependent
on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.”
Since a recurring theme in this course is science and technology, it is important to have some
understanding of certain basic contemporary technologies.
Task: Pick one of the GRIN technologies ( Genetics, Robotic, Information Technology and Nano Technologies) that may (or may not) be appealing to you. Do some research on
the subject (nothing extensive) so that you have a better understanding of the technology. Provide a
summary of your chosen technology and explain why it may be important in shaping the future. Provide
specific examples of recent/current research and possibly near-term goals of some of the research
projects in these fields.
Length: 1000 words of your own words
Weight: 15%
Grading Emphasis: developing an effective subject; writing for appropriate occasion and audience;
