Feel free to be technical, go in-depth into very specific details, or tie in special expertise from other industries. Chose ONE topic below to write. DO NOT copy from others.
1. Blockchain means something different to everyone. Write about what blockchain means to YOU as an individual, your passions, career interests, and personal philosophies.
2. Tell us your favorite blockchain use case. Fair warning: weve all seen hundreds of articles about borderless currency, DeFi, supply chain, tokenization of X, etc. These topics are by no means off-limits, but keep in mind that the person assigned to your essay may likely be considered an expert in that use case.
3. Paint a picture of a blockchain-enabled future. We do want to hear the impacts, but mostly how technology is implemented to achieve them. Note that we are not specifying whether blockchain causes positive or negative changes, and feel free to have a mix of both.
4. What is your wishlist for new blockchain innovations, aka what do you think is missing in the space? Are there any blockchain startups that are beginning to work on it – maybe a dream job youd like us to help you grab?

This intro assignment asks you to start the process of thinking about and across the generations. Read the Nicholas G. Carr article (download the pdf excerpt), “The Shallows:…” and write about what you think about it. Is this information in the article new to you?
