(June 23, 2011) We are used to permanent improvements in the price performance of consumer electronics and the like. But soon a new nanoelectronic switch technology will be required to sustain this progress. John Kelly discusses how nanotechnology will drive the next wave of disruptive innovation and the potential implications for business and society.

The video is about the exponential progression of information technology (exemplified by eg Moores Law), and how that in combination with more andvanced artificial intelligence (AI) and the reverse-engineering of the human brain in the future could lead to a technological singularity, as theorized by people such as Ray Kurzweil. It discusses the development of technology as an evolutionary process, and shows by examples that evolution is an exponential process. The video also mentions how more advanced technology in the future could enable us to cure aging, and how this can give us eternal life (or at least enable us to live indefinitely), as proposed by people such as Abrey de Grey. The video also mentions the potential of molecular nanotechnology, and technologies such as virtual reality. It argues that investing in science and innovation is the best way of solving our challenges of global warming, resource scarcity, global poverty, and lack of space and resources due to population growth. CHARITIES THAT I RECOMMEND 1. The Open Cog Foundation: opencog.org 2. Institute for Molecular Manufacturing: www.imm.org 3. The X-prize foundation.

The true promise of nanotechnology, says Ray Kurzweil, is that “we’ll be able to create just about anything we need in the physical world from information files with very inexpensive input materials.”
