Nanotechnology – the Congressional Report
by
Charlie Bess
I’ve written in the past about nanotechnology and the disruptive nature it will have to change the entire economy. Sometimes I think back on the amount of change that took place in the 20th century and how change accelerated from what was common in the 19th and wonder what will cause that kind of acceleration of change in the 21st century nanotechnology is at the top of the list.
This report: Nanotechnology: The Future is Coming Sooner Than You Think is well worth the read. It starts out with an introduction to what nanotechnology is and then rapidly moves into a discussion of the implications. They effectively describe the breadth of change that is enabled by Nanotechnology and how it could move us into an economy based on abundance instead of scarcity, at least in some areas.
