THE TINY SHALL LEAD

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Nanotechnology is the future.

We're talking about the ability to create and manipulate structures on the atomic level, where the real work is done. Once this technology has matured - just a bit - the world will change, quickly. The ability to work on an atomic and subatomic level will lead to the most efficient machines known to man, and considering the rather interesting behavior of subatomic particles, it may just alter the fundamental ways we interact with the world.

It's going to have a huge impact on medicine and computing, but it'll change everything from how food is grown to how we listen to music.

The microchip will be old news. The nanochip will rule.

Today there's an article on Yahoo! News about a report released by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (that's where the link above takes you) stating that laws meant to safeguard the public against this emerging technology are not being drafted quickly enough. Maybe it's because most people don't even realize what nanotechnology is, or how profound its impact will be.

What do our resident investors think?

Nanotechnology will make good amp tone available to all.

I can't wait.

I'm waiting for nanny-nanny-boo-boo technology.

Well I'm glad we can have a serious discussion about this.

I actually used to own an Alesis Nanocompressor, until it mysteriously disappeared one day. Perhaps it fell into a wormhole.

By the way, Dave is right. With nanotechnology we'll be able to faithfully recreate '65 Deluxe Reverbs from the atomic level up.

The only problem is they'll be very tiny, so it'll be hard to adjust the knobs.

But they'll be so much easier to lug to gigs.

Oh, definitely. Even the NanoAC30 will be easy to haul around.

What's to discuss? Everything get's smaller, except genetalia and egos.

Ted, I'm talking about moving individual atoms around and you're talking about peepees and weewees and whohahs.

Sorry, must be on my mind lately. Okay, so, yeah, tiny particles moving about intelligently - sounds good, now back to wee wee's...
