Why do you aim for the integration between living organisms and machines?

Hola
Nice kettle of fish. I'd also like to hear more about what visions of what could be that beckons you to its edge and over its edge and into it as a stirring instrument and possibly an ingredient that will shape the soup to come.
I remember back years ago reading a book called
Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan. For those of you who haven't read it, it's set several centuries in the future and technology has evolved to the point of no one actually being permanently dead because their consciousness is stored on a device in the head called a "stack." This allows the person's personality to be moved from one body to another with minimal distress and, for those who can afford it, new bodies can be grown with clocks and mobile phones right in them to exacting measures of perfection. Increased strength, speed, agility, computing power, et cetera are also in there. Anyhow, it was a good book. Being able to augment the human body both mechanically and genetically has always had a special place in my frigid heart for personal reasons. Those reasons aren't hard to find if you look through my posts or can glean it from by profile.
I'll give you more if you want more.
Hello.
I'm ENFP but most tests pin me as hot mama daym
Do you pair socks, or do you just put them all in a pile and do a fortune spin on whether or not you'll end up in matching color?
Maybe in a few years, I'll be a damn hot mama, too.
At the moment, pretty much all of my socks are the same color and and my tights are all attached so I don't really have that problem. I do have to put on the air of professionalism when out for work, so it's better to remove a variable than end up in a semi-uncomfortable situation.
Oh, cool I'm an INTP material scientist. I ended up in ceramics research, but I have a lot of experience in metallurgy.
I kind of gravitate toward higher tech stuff. My interests are especially molten salt electrolysis for reactive metal extraction and purification and for forming high end intermetallic coatings (space age stuff
) I worked for a start up that did that but it was hard to get funding and the equipment costs were high so, it made scaling up difficult. I also in my ceramic career stumbled upon a low cost synthesis method for a titania photocatalyst. But my boss was a jerk about it. He was like we are a refractory/ceramics company not a semiconductor company. Some people can be so single minded. So, I kind of sit on the technology because they said they don't care if I develop it after I left the company.
Currently, I am starting a new job at a refractory/ceramics research lab. They have a group that pursues technologies outside of the field of ceramics. It's kind of like applying some principles from ceramics and exploring other markets. So, I hope to pawn off my idea for the photocatalyst.
I'm an engineer and an INTP but don't feel I fit in the mold. My interests are whatever I am musing about at the time.
I agree with my interests being what I want when I want them.
The reason I chose mechanical engineering was because it has the broadest scope that is easily branched. Mechanical starts out kind of in civil land with the statics and mechanics, which can translate to structural, civil, mechanical, mat sci, geomatics, and mechatronics, which, in turn, can jump to electrical. Then things become more specific, but I do think mechanical is the best discipline in which to start because of its scope and the ability to branch out.
I don't have a lab but I do get to work in them on occasion if I have a contract to do so. I've done a lot of odd things in the world of engineering from designing medical devices, implants, buildings, bridges, pipelines, pressure vessels, military, new alloys and composites, metallic and ceramic thin films, and I even taught a few classes at the university. Being a consultant has definitely broadened my horizons because I do get bored easily when it comes to pumping out the same thing day in a day out.
