Hi dear Steemians !
I'm very pleased to become one of yours. Currently, I'm studying computer science in "université Paris-Saclay", one of the most advanced french university.
the end of Facebook
As I passed my first year, my university made me choose 2 options among 14 for the upcoming year. Those I chose were :
- Mathematics, computer science and operational research (mathématiques, informatique théorique et recherche opérationelle)
- distributed software (systèmes et logiciels répartis)
And guess what ?
This year, blockchain was introduced in the curriculum of "distributed software" cursus. I will be one of the first students in the world studying blockchain in university ! That means that, from now, generations of young engineers will be able to build start-ups, that will grow, and contribute to the mass adoption of decentralized economy. Hence the end of Facebook, and other big tech companies, which earn money by centralizing people's data.
my areas of interest
If you are interested in history, you may have recognized the historic monument in the background above. It is the Triumphal Arch (Arc de Triomphe), build by the emperor Napoleon in Paris, following his victory at Austerlitz. It was designed as a copy of roman architecture.
In addition of history, I am interested in several topics :
- mathematics, and science on the whole
- philosophical debates, about the origins of morality, or the reasons of our existence.
- computer science, and more specifically the progress in AI, and the way our jobs will be destroyed in the next years.
I will try to post about these subjects. Let me know in comment if you are interested in one of them.
PS : As a non english-native speaker, I would be pleased if you help me to improve my english language skills, by signaling my grammar mistakes, or vocabulary misuse.
Thanks for your attention !
