Ask HN: Non-technical people – what brings you to HN?

I'm in grad school studying to be a Speech-Language Pathologist. Never written a line of code in my life. But I'm on HN because I am interested a lot of the things you guys are talking about - especially natural language processing, speech recognition, augmented reality/MR, and bioethics related to technology. A big emerging area in my field is in using AAC (Augmented and Alternative Communication) technology to help those with disabilities communicate. There is a ton of opportunity for innovation in that area, and reading HN gives me great ideas and inspiration. Just curious how many people are out there lurking for similar reasons as me - trying to apply cool new ideas in tech to innovate in other fields.
