Clarifications on photonics

Like the lady in her column of June 27, I too urge caution as regards the upcoming photonics seminar to be held July 26-29, 2004 at the International Business & Professional College. The prospective student should be cautious, but also well-informed.

There is no doubt that photonic computing is a new field that is currently the focus of attention and considerable investment in research by many companies around the world. In the late ‘90s I attended a conference at Boston University’s Photonics Center wherein the keynote speaker was the director of NASA himself. In that speech, he challenged the photonic scientists to help NASA solve certain, difficult, and important problems related to light. Of the half-dozen or so items he listed, all but one were already the focus of attention at CyberDyne Computer Co. of San Diego, of which I was its chief scientist, and most prominent inventor.

Of particular note was the director’s emphasis on the need for super-speed photonic computers, for which I have 18 patents (nine of which are fully international) and 26 patents applied for covering the entire basis of that vital technology. To help students become informed I suggest that they go to the Patent Office official website at www.uspto.gov and search under the inventor’s name: John Hait.

Yes, without a doubt, it may take five or more years before photonic computers enter the mainstream of global computing. Logically, NASA is likely to be one of its first customers. Thus, there exists a chance that students who attend the photonics seminar on Saipan may find themselves working alongside that columnist’s “older son” at NASA.

Five years can go by very rapidly. Think of the changes that have come to pass in just the past five years. It is the nature of an introductory course that students are exposed to new ideas, new methods, and new technology. If the NASA director needed that technology five years ago, how much more so does he need it today? When it comes time to hire, will they be looking for people who have been trained, or ones that are yet to be trained? When they do hire, who do you suppose are going to get the best jobs in research, development as well as the global distribution of the new hardware? Should you train yourself for the future now? Or wait until the future gets here? Do you want to learn old stuff… or new stuff?

Concerning CoolScience’s marketing methods we might note a misunderstanding. Unlike those who just promise to bring jobs to the islands, we are hiring people right now to spread our advertising about our advanced educational programs. In other words, we hire people to find students for us. And yes, she is right. “The more you sell, the more you earn.” It’s a very novel idea called: “Paying Salespersons by Commission!”

Contrary to her assertion that our marketing is a “pyramid scheme,” our marketing people do NOT “invest” in anything. They don’t pay us. We pay them. (That’s called “employment”) See www.rmrc.org/rep111/jobs.htm

Our students receive the highest quality, and the most up-to-date education for a tuition that is much less than others pay for learning ordinary things. The base tuition for this intensive course is $3,500, but by attending here on Saipan, they save $2,705 by signing up online. CNMI residents save even more than others because they don’t have to pay airfare or lodging. That brings the tuition down to only $795 for four days of the most intensive training in the most advanced field of computer science.

In fact, if the columnist, or even her NASA son would like to attend our seminar, we would enjoy having them. What’s more, I can show them how they can each save an extra $150 by joining our CoolScience Marketing team. In fact, if they signup more students, we will pay them at least $150 for each one. And if they bring in 10 or more we pay $350 each. If they each brought in only five other students it would cover more than the cost of their advanced education with money to spare. Anyone can do that by being properly informed from www.rmrc.org/rep111 (Our home page, personalized for a local CoolScience Market Rep.)

We invite people to be well informed. That’s why there is considerable free information on all of our web pages, including our previously-advertised page at: www.coolscience.info.
