Not long ago, I talked to a serial inventor and innovator, not a man of talk and hype but a real engineer in his late 60s. He suggested that I write more articles on America's innovation, and that we need more writers promoting real innovation and spurring on more invention.
You see, we have a challenge right now with the number of individuals in our society going into the fields of math and science. By finding more science writers, and those who will propel interest in engineering and research it will help keep our nation on the leading edge, keeping us strong as a nation well into the future.
My acquaintance said; "Write about great future prospects in America because they are going to happen." He is a true believer the future of the United States, and indeed I guess I am too. The question is are you? That is to say, you are a writer, and it's important that you enlist yourself in this cause. Why not write a few extra articles each month promoting technology, math, science, invention, innovation, and the future of this great country?
Over the years, I've written a number of articles on this topic, and I believe you should too. My acquaintance reminds me that "Each region of the US is going after something," and you know what, he is correct. So why not do your part, why not promote technology in your region as a writer. It's the least you can do. Okay so, how can you help you ask?
Well, why not get involved in your area and find out what's going on, scan the local news, attend an inventor's club once a month, and get on a first name basis with the local college and university science departments, and their PR folks. Also contact the school newspaper, and see what they are writing about, because you can make a difference as a writer in assisting in this noble cause.
Am I suggesting that you use propaganda tools or hype the new and latest local technology? Oh heavens no, you don't need to do that. Rather, you should just write an article or two each month to help your area, or technology in general. My acquaintance says that things are happening all over the country, and yet when we read the news, or view it online, it often doesn't appear that this is the case. Maybe you can join with me and others and educate the masses and set the US on a new beginning for our technological future.
