LULZ!
You know, once somebody comes up with an idea that rocks, there aren't enough hours in the day. They don't want to stop working out the kinks. I worked in Chemical Engineering when we were coming up with things like etching cartoon characters in Microchips. We even came up with ways to grow microchips by the dozen in crystals with circuits already in them. We also came up with itsy bitsy semi-conductors, and stuff we didn't even know what it was supposed to do, we just figured out what it was...more or less...and made more of them for scientist dudes who were usually high on some psychadelic they whipped up in the lab. We did most of it because we really hated slide rules, and serious people who thought they understood what we did. Nobody understood what we were doing, we just caught on when we noticed something we copied doing something. I'm not saying it was alien technology, but it was alien technology. We eventually made scientific calculators you needed at least a Ph.D or three to use, just to give nerds ulcers we made some of em solar powered. Would I lie to you?
