The convergence of innovations is just beginning. This will be a big theme in future blogs. Synthetic biology–the engineering of biological life forms, is fusing with the future interactive mobile RSS web to the engineering of matter with nano and then on to managing climate change with geoEngineering. What’s next? Nutrigenomics–food and genomic fusion. Yes.
This is either an extreme example of humanity’s hubris or an attempt to use Big Science to fix what needs fixing. More on this later.
