Hyperinnovation
September 23rd, 2007
My mind is quite scrambled at this point in time which is a good thing. I can work with mental paraphernalia, it kind of makes sense. One thing particularly intriguing me is nano-technology and the implications involved if it’s allowed to develop. Technology is evolving at an exponential rate, and we, ourselve’s, are on the cusp of a revolution, Chris Harris himself, author of Hyperinnovation has brought this to my attention and my head is spinning, but everyday I get a extra piece of information towards of the totality of the predicted outcome, and it is mind blowing!

You know Nano technology has been shouted from the tops of steeples for years now and yet we are still only just able to build very basic machines able to work.
Technology has or is about to reach a small peak I feel with the positive impacts of things to come undone by companies who crave money and control drugs. Can you honestly see a company making millions from drugs *really* looking for a cure?
And no matter which way you cut it Nano technology will change the way people are treated in hospitals across the globe..
Until companies can make money from other means Nano Technology will be controlled by them, who is doing the research into these areas…??
Sucks but that s human nature sadly..
Technology is about to come head to head with old men in smoking jackets and back handed wobbly hand shakes.. Hmmm

I can understand your views but money will not undermine the scope or determination of people studying in this field and what the possible benefits this kind of technology could achieve.

aaaay sitting on the fence looking at both sides and not really knowing f*** all about it , your both right as humans we strive to learn and to create bigger and better or smaller and better as the case may be , it will be created because not only will it make the guy who cracks it in name and money it`s the way we are going, and there will be big companys and old men in smoking jackets wanting it shelved, in the name of money.. but how much will the technology be worth and how ethical will the guy who makes the breakthrough be,, could go either way .. the battle of matter and antimatter the new technalical big bang.. (please excuse any poor spelling but stroll on lads great to read after a long day and a puff on a fat one ) hopefully this technology will break through because from then on reading the instructions will become a head feck induceing experience 🙂

ok that should have been technological big bang lol,
long day don`t you know

My original point was the impact of “nano-manufacturing” as appose to the medical field, we already have a 3D printer, if we can work down to an atomic scale, we could print almost any material object by selecting the required elements in the periodic table and assembling them with molecular precision from a home computer model and the latest in Desktop 3D Printing Technology. I could email your Christmas presents!

But why should they allow you to make anything? After all then you will not buy from them?..
Anyway I’m still reading as much as possible on Quantum Entanglement now THATS cool.. (mainly because I hate driving to and from Skegness and the idea of teleporting is pretty appealing right now).
Oh and finally got mobile broadband on my phone (Currently surfing at 1.8Mb on my moby, how cool is that?).

I would imagine a payment would be required for necessary software and model kits? And this is just a fraction of what it’s all about, I dunno, but it’s interesting stuff.
Your mobile internet connection btw is faster than this one!
