Introduction Post

My name is Sam Blanchet, I am a senior Electrical Engineering student from Wyomissing Pennsylvania.  I have always been interested in technology, and this interest inspired me to take study electrical engineering in college.  I enjoy that my major reaches into many different fields within the technology industry, and gives me the capability to work a variety of different jobs in different industries after graduation.  Outside of school I enjoy hanging out with my friends, playing interhall sports, and watching tv.  I originally took this class because I have already learned a lot of technical skills through my major, but I have not seen very much on how those skills are applied in the real world.  This is a very exciting time for computer science, and I thought it would be extremely interesting to see the other side on how some of these exciting advances need to be monitored to assure they are brought into existence in an ethical way.  Hopefully by the end of this class I’ll have gained skills that will help me in my future professional career to deal with technology ethically.
