Moon, Part 3.
2. The next big move in technology will be one that is already in place, IMHO. Biotechnology is much more important than IT, because it is vital to sustaining life and health, and they are the sine qua non of existence. I see more and more convergence of the biological and physical sciences here. New wonder products will be a combo of biotech and IT, if not in the final offering, then in its development. This is nothing new, but I expect it to accelerate in the future. We have gone through a period where biotech was an infant, and, despite the many great products already developed, it is still nothing but a toddler. Meanwhile, we have gone from toddler to maturity on the usage of computers and communications technology. Now that computers are ubiquitous, it is time to find some important uses for them, other than word processing and spreadsheets. There is nothing wrong with word processing and spread sheets, but it would be nice if these items were helpful in other areas. And I think they will eventually be so. Yes, they are used today, but not to the extent I think is necessary.
Hope this helps.
