Nanotechnologist Ralph Merkle gave a presentation on TechTV's big thinkers
segment,
<a href="http://www.techtv.com/bigthinkers/features/story/0,23008,3361355,00.html">http://www.techtv.com/bigthinkers/features/story/0,23008,3361355,00.html</a> .
He predicts many changes in chemical process within the next two decades. I
am
wondering if any list members are involved in biochemical engineering, of
which this
is a part.
Here is another interesting site: <a href="http://www.zyvex.com/nano/">http://www.zyvex.com/nano/</a>
Our company once had an engineer manager who researched future direction of
technology. He demonstrated crude CAD as far back as mid sixties, and many
of the
older draftsmen said it would never work. Special new ways for making
chemicals (now
nanotechnology or molecular manufacturing)(words for the day) was talked
about in
the seventies. It was interesting having a person around who had his eye on
the future.

Here's a facinating discussion on how the brain works:

This post (poor splleing aside)

probably most relevant to readers of this list.
