Part of Bill Clinton's new technology "initiative:"
- $475 million for a nanotechnology initiative. This
could lead, the White House official said, ``to the
ability to store the contents of the Library of
Congress in a device the size of a sugar cube.''
(from a Yahoo! News story)
Is that not the lamest damned definition of nano
you've ever seen? More proof that government is
clueless...
I wonder if they're going for the military apps first....

HUMANITY FIRST! We are capable of creating a technological/biological/neurological utopia in the next century. We already have the capability of destroying all life. What does it say of us as a species if we don't choose the former?
