My name is Steven Mitchell and I am an undergraduate at Stony Brook University as a double Major in Psychology and History with a Minor in Women's Studies. I am a former consulting network architect and technology project manager for hire to Wall Street firms. I like writing fiction, introspection and serious philosophical and theoretical work; great books; women; healthy & tasty foods; great films; singing blues and modern rock; listening to virtually any type of music and nearly every intellectual discipline in the natural and social sciences.

I think eventually it will become humanity's worst enemy and an impediment to its use... human capacity and capability on the computer keyboard, monitor and mouse is already underserved by nearly 3 or 4 times our common contemporary peformance capacity. DSL currently can't be used for corporate home user's connectivity to the mother infrastructure. Telephones aren't integrated with the rolodex of numbers we keep. Computers were constructed at the speed of light, but with all the horrifically-designed software, only operate at the speed of a dog running. Most television and music are derived from formulas...
