121. Nanotechnology In Manufacturing What Next? The Coming Revolution In Manufacturing Autodesk Technology Forum Presentation by John Walker, May 10th, 1990. Somewhat dated but well worth reading. http://www.fourmilab.ch:80/autofile/www/chapter2_84.html

Next: What's Been Happening Up: The Autodesk File Previous: Final Words Nanotechnology in Manufacturing Ever since I read K. Eric Drexler's Engines of Creation I'd been interested in nanotechnology and followed the relevant literature while trying to figure out, as is my wont, how to make a buck out of it. As one of the designers of Xanadu and an ardent supporter of the project, Eric became acquainted with Autodesk when we invested in Xanadu in 1988. When Eric saw a demo of HyperChem at a conference, he immediately realised that the fit between Autodesk and Hypercube, Inc., developers of HyperChem, was potentially very good. When Eric and Chris Peterson spoke to me about this opportunity, I finally saw not only an opportunity for Autodesk to establish itself in the scientific modeling market, but also a way to position ourselves to benefit from the advent of nanotechnology, if and when it emerged, for surely one could not design atomically-precise structures without a molecular CAD system, which is precisely what a molecular modeling package is. In early 1989, I prepared this talk about the consequences of nanotechnology to help tilt the balance in favour of the HyperChem deal. The talk was delivered at the Autodesk technology forum on May 10, 1990, before an audience which included Eric Drexler, Chris Peterson, and Neil Ostlund, founder and president of HyperCube, the designer of HyperChem.

123. Nanosocialism Parts 1-5 Seminal paper which argues that nanotechnology projections need to be tempered by realism about what it will be used for in the hands of corporations and governments but that nanotechnology also offers enormous opportunities for the liberation of humanity. http://www.cla.sc.edu/ENGL/faculty/berube/nanosoc.htm

NANOSOCIALISM Please note this set of articles were written and published in 1996. NANOSOCIALISM, PART ONE Nanotechnology is much more than a technology. It's a revolution and a paradigm shift. We would leave a world of limited for one with limitless growth. Conceptions of value would lose most of their meanings. Work would no longer be the yardstick against which careers were measured. Off world and non corporeal existence would be likely. Institutions would become anachronistic and social systems would be completely redefined. As such, nanotechnology will need to be ushered in by systemic change. One of the main reasons there is such a dark side to nanotechnology: we are speculating about a revolution from within the present world view. Can we reasonably expect terrorists and rogue leaders to restrain from using nanoweapons? Can we hope that a "good" nation becomes the leading force and set up active shields for everyone? Can anyone anticipate a beneficent technosociety establishing a nanarchal net to restrain dangerous nanoglap attacks? When Drexler discusses social change, he does so as an afterthought, as a consequence of the breakthrough. If history has taught us anything, it is that forethought and systemic redesign may need to precede monumental change. The arrival of nuclear energy led to horrendous weapons and a generation of Cold War apprehension and insecurity. We shouldn't hope for the best as Ed Regis suggests. We should plan for systemic change as a precursor to the breakthrough.

This page will likely remain here for as long as Userland deigns to continue hosting it. I loved using Manila, but I've moved on to a different platform and a different host. Right now, I'm in the middle of cybernetic remodeling, but the basic stuff is in place. You'll find me at: Time's Shadow (The Sequel) 24 September 2002 I've been wondering what this senstivity to weather I seem to exhibit is due to. It's been raining all morning, off and on, and it's been cloudy and dark. And that's the way it feels inside too. It's weird. I managed to get the floors mopped in the kitchen and TV room last night. I also went through the TV room and removed a small amount of the clutter. You can actually see the coffee table now. I'm flying up to Norfolk later this evening for a couple of meetings tomorrow and Thursday, I fly back down Thursday afternoon. My stepdaughter Melissa is going to stay with the kids. Adding to my rather dreary outlook is the fact that I really don't like to travel on business. Norfolk is not a great place to go to, at least it holds no attraction for me. Plus, it's time away from home, where I could be making further progress on getting the house under control.

Be a Commerce Partner nanotechnology Last modified: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 A field of science whose goal is to control individual atoms and molecules to create computer chips and other devices that are thousands of times smaller than current technologies permit. Current manufacturing processes use lithography to imprint circuits on semiconductor materials. While lithography has improved dramatically over the last two decades to the point where some manufacturing plants can produce circuits smaller than one micron (1,000 nanometers) it still deals with aggregates of millions of atoms. It is widely believed that lithography is quickly approaching its physical limits. To continue reducing the size of semiconductors , new technologies that juggle individual atoms will be necessary. This is the realm of nanotechnology.

134. Paradise-engineering : The Hedonistic Imperative Outlines how nanotechnology and genetic engineering will eradicate aversive experience in all sentient life and why this is both instrumentally rational and ethically mandatory. http://www.hedweb.com/

HEDWEB HI Abstract HI Table of Contents The Hedonistic Imperative The Hedonistic Imperative outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life. The abolitionist project is hugely ambitious but technically feasible. It is also instrumentally rational and morally urgent. The metabolic pathways of pain and malaise evolved because they served the fitness of our genes in the ancestral environment. They will be replaced by a different sort of neural architecture. States of sublime well-being are destined to become the genetically pre-programmed norm of mental health. It is predicted that the world's last unpleasant experience will be a precisely dateable event. Two hundred years ago, powerful synthetic pain-killers and surgical anesthetics were unknown. The notion that physical pain could be banished from most people's lives would have seemed absurd. Today most of us in the technically advanced nations take its routine absence for granted. The prospect that what we describe as psychological pain, too, could ever be banished is equally counter-intuitive. The feasibility of its abolition turns its deliberate retention into an issue of social policy and ethical choice.
