How goes your depression?

On that note - Are we really even in a "depression"?

I for one, foresee the current period being a time of massive structural shift. Out with the old - in with the new - all along the rate of change is accelerating.

Even if the ascent of man and his technological endeavors were to propagate into the future at the existing pace, the advancements toward the so-called singularity or whatever transition point lays in our path would likely astound even visionaries such as Kurzweil.

Human interface design (HID) is rapidly advancing as miniaturization allows structural form factors for consumer electronics that offer incredible levels of convenience. Want a glimpse? Take a look at Morph.

The evaporation of size in video has also been truly incredible. Wafer level camera products are a reality and will be commonplace soon. For some insight into an HID application meet Arnie. Arnie likes men too :-)

And what the thousands of Engineers and Researchers cannot accomplish in the dark reaches of development labs around the globe, the hackers will certainly accomodate:





So buckle up and enjoy the ride. Even the stifling of capitalism by politicos who cannot envision a world outside their own convenience, and the rapid evaporation of capital from the gobbling black swans of financial "innovation". will not deter the rapidly advancing nano-revolution river from flowing.

And, by the time global warming (er cooling) really becomes an issue, my "nano-morph-jacket" will provide all the comforts of a paradise our skins have yet to imagine.

Enjoy the Ride!
