When I went through my old e-records I came across posting 14545 from 
Ruthanna R Gordon on the 26 Sept 2000 (when I called this Blast for the Past 
it was Truth In Advertising)

In part she wrote  I'm currently sitting in on an undergraduate class about 
the effect of future technology on definitions of self.  The class is going 
to include discussions of nanotechnology, downloading, and near-immortality. 
  I'm interested in how this will be presented to freshmen who are fairly 
representative of the attitudes of the general population, and by a teacher 
who's only just beginning to explore the territory (I'm ending up acting as 
a semi-TA and helping him out with some of the material that I'm more 
familiar with).  I'm also interested to see how a population whose 
intelligence is normally challenged (?) only with introductory textbooks 
will handle Drexler. 

Does anyone know what happened?

Long life,

Marta

PS  I got such a good response to my last query I thought I should try it 
again  -:)
