What's Been and What's Ben

One last video on DNA self-assembly that will blow your mind. My prediction is that this will be the new technology in 2030. I view us as being in the first of three stages of technology growth. The first stage is learning from basic principles to make things like cars, cell phones, and lasers. The second stage is really a transition where exploits in complexity can lead us to things like the self assembly in this video, but we are just patching the inherit complexity we got along with our existence. The third stage is engineering the complexity to grow cell phones. In this stage we choose where each atom goes and what it does.
