I read the article (at work) monday night in Wired. I suppose the whole
purpose of the article was not to fall into techno-optimism/pomposity such as
what happended with the "nuclear age". I bring that up since that example
was used heavilly in the Wired article, which featured Sun's founder; who
cautioned against such stumbles in genetics and nano. Now we go back to
asking; if we don't promote bio and nano, and Others do we will still suffer
the grey goo blues, without any green goo bennies, because we will have
vacated a leadership position.
