That is true about the huge investment cost. Yeah the hologram thing, closest I've seen to what sci-fi shows is the laser based ones that are loud/pop from the excitation sound. Brain transfer would be nice as far as staying alive/von Neumann probe deal but yeah the brain is like magic right now to us. > find people doing work who need data science or programming, or visualisation Would be curious where to look? They just post it in a forum somewhere? The other thing about this is the time commitment but yeah that's what supporting a cause means I suppose. I appreciate the thoughts.

Some communities of data science organize "help wanted" lists. Join local interest groups in a space you want to work, you'll wind up being direct to mailing lists, forums, social media groups where a post of "I can do X" will be seen. University Departments often organize extra-mural engagement, it can be an opportunity to engage with a professional in the field and ask if there are outlets for your skills. I now volunteer with a local online seniors group helping the over 70s with keyboarding and basic networking issues. Its nice work, one menu at a time. Aside from which, socialising with like minded people doing some other endevour may broaden your horizons anyway. Even if they never want your core assets, you might move the dial a few millimeters in a local space. I know a network engineer who joined the local council to argue for community fibre. She had the chops, and the skills.

  Haha you have great patience. "What is the power button?" The... power... BUTTON! Man I'm blessed with fiber, it's crazy you can get 2Gbps like who needs that but yeah nice to have. I did volunteer at a local thing... it was kind of disappointing because they met up for an hour a week and they expected to achieve something like building an app... so it was largely just a "showing for community service" like to feel good vs. actually achieving something. Anyway I appreciate the ideas and will keep them in mind.
