The cool thing, and scary by the same token, is that since this computing power is biologically based, it could reproduce on its own just as our cells do.

Economy today is not looking pretty, but I think that society is moving rapidly to a new era: the biological era. Using organic molecules to reach where the silicon chips can’t. The paradox is pretty easy to see: If we decide not to work with it we would face Moore’s law: Transistors made from silicon can get only so small before desintegration; this would lead to an ultimate catastrophy. On the other side, if we decide to use it, we could face a completely new generation of war, power, politics and life on earth as we know it.

The simple truth of thinking that the internet knowledge could be present in every human being would eliminate the system of “knowledge is power”. Obviously, the powerful would be the first to get their hands in these technologies, finally creating a monopoly of power. Hopefully power in the hands of good people.

Perhaps Nanotechnology is not currently possible and I ask myself: “Is our economic pursuit the doom of our civilization?”

We will find out the truth sooner than later.
