Some thoughts 'bou real-life stuff

As an software engineer, and also a biologist/chemist...well, not quite at that level yet, there are 2 thgs that I wonder 'bou, and for those who have read this and started working on them:

THESE ARE MY IDEAS!!! So include me in your plan!!! :)

1. Software-centric issue. I've been looking for a career start in the biotech field, mainly in the SW/Science interaction phase. However, many positions that I've looked at require special training - either on computer programming language or operations. Well, WHY WHY WHY? I mean, we can make a much more complex OS to have excellent UI so that people with little or no computer training can use it without much trouble (i.e. MAC OS X), and ATM machines that almost everyone knows how to use. Why the heck do we need to ask those medical/biol/chem'l professionals to spend their valuable time to learn sthg that are utterly "useless" just for the sake of using it? It's definitely not a difficult task to make UI friendly software for them, so that they can just use it ON-THE-FLY! If only there's some company that can hire me so that I can work toward this goal...

2. Read a news article today 'bou a traffic crash - 1 driving instructor got killed, 1 student got killed, 2 students got injured. Again, WHY WHY WHY? Pilots have VR programs that train them MANY MANY hours b4 really flying on a plane, and so are shuttle crafts operators. These are much more complicated and difficult scenarios! Driving a car, which is a much easier "task," should also include VR training prior to real-life driving. Besides, it's not that we don't have anythg on the market nowadays; just go to an arcade, play one of those driving/racing games, and you'll be amazed on how "real" these driving games are currently! They have the physical dynamics on "what will happen" such as sliding, skidding, over/understeer, etc., the "feel" both on the steering wheel and the car seat, and the specific simulation of each car - yes, each car from every brand, like the Nissan March, Toyota bB, Honda RSX, etc. - by using each car's own real-life specification! We've the technology, we've the need, and we've the "machine" available now, thus price really isn't an issue (compare to the cost of buying a car + insurance + maintenance), yet no one is using them :(
