CPI
At CPI we would submit
That anything can be a bit.
Recall that in an early age
It was a letter on a page.
Now, we can record our datum
In the
state of just one atom.
Or we might use DNA
To build
our bits in an array.
To students at CBS-cubed
We told of bits in nanotubes.
And further, we’re investing
in
Storing bits in photon spin.
Physics built the atom bomb
But also
brought us telecom.
It helps us to build tiny
things;
We’ll see just what the
future brings.
Meanwhile, IST’s dream team
Is gathered
here to eat ice cream.
And so I’d better say
good-bye
From all of
us at CPI.
