As I have been writing about for a while, the Mems Medical lab chips are here. They have reduced the cost of research by factors of thousands, just like chips have done to information processing. This is just the first step in chips lowing the cost of interfacing with the physical world at the molecular level by factors of thousands and in the future by millions in a large variety of physical and even nuclear chemistry. This will speed up the pace of research by factors that will reach into the thousands. Multiply this by the increases in processing information and we are now taking further steps into world that will become so complex each persons knowledge of the world will shrink by a very large percentage. The ramifications of this, both good and bad, are now for us to find out, for no one can know the result. Comments and thoughts wanted for how to handle this brave new world.
