i love new technology, is there a career in that?

Question

if so, what? list anything and everything, even if its remotely close, or right on the money, all suggestions are appreciated. p.s. im 15 years old, and in tenth grade, so the sky is the limit.
new technology can include stuff like new inventions, new computers, phones, home devices, pretty much anything of the future, and anything that even looks like its high tech, and may be part of the world of tommorow.like the iphone is really amazing but whatever it is, ill love it the moment it catches my eye. once again thanx.

Answer 1

Duh, of course!
Learn what you can at school, but you will not find cutting edge technology there. Talk to people who really know; at small computer stores for instance, ask around.
I'm too old for this (I'm 59), but I have a feeling for it. Learn any math you can, as well as technology classes. Get a good foundation.
The latest technology today will be old in 2 or 3 years. So, try to be aware of developments, but don't obsess over the latest games or gadgets if it's not easy to get at them.
Right now, young adults are learning a lot of the technology on the job, working on their own computers or other equipment, etc, because the latest technology is not yet taught in schools, colleges, or any formal setting. You need to learn outside the classroom as well as in it.

Answer 2

Given that over the past 10 years the majority of BAs in science were awarded to women and yet only 10% of scientists working in their filed or academia are women, it seems that this is more a question of discrimination than motivation. (see last month’s times) However, I can think of two things that would help – require everyone from tutors to principals, administrators to test prep and teachers, to undergo math science and IQ tests and cut this cancer out. Secondly, I would require a strict reading of our constitution that we shall not promote religion and stop handling ignorance with kid gloves. People have culturally assimilated the idea now that everyone’s beliefs are equal, which is why there are people who don’t ‘believe ‘ in global warming, evolution, or that the earth is not the center of the universe. That needs to be addressed by refuting and then passing over outmoded religions in the classroom. A great big ‘sorry you’re wrong and your parents are too’ in the 2nd grade would work wonders. If I have to go back and explain the wheel and fire to every college student only to have them open their yaps and say ‘I don’t believe in pollution’ we’re not going anywhere in the future. I suppose we can also blame our more balkanized and nepotistic society- since it benefits the stupid, and stupid people don’t like/ understand basic scientific principles and take refuge in their ‘faith and beliefs’ instead. On a cultural level we can stop acting like these things have some intrinsic value. However, on every news station we end up mocking science or having some politician or celebrity talk about their beliefs. Is it any wonder kids aren’t interested if the field has no future (for girls) and for all children their years of study can be nullified by a simple line from the most ignorant of human detritus saying, “well, I believe…”

Answer 3

Definitely. First, go to college and major in Computer Science. That will help. =D Oppertunity will knock...
