Slides for Talk on Nanotechnology
and Computational Challenges

by Eric Drexler on 2009/07/28

I’ve posted the slides for my WORLDCOMP’09 keynote, “Advanced Nanotechnology: Advanced Computing on the Critical Path”: Click here to download.

My earlier talk for the 2009 Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum was directed to a non-specialized nanotechnology audience and surveyed near-term directions in framework-directed self assembly as a basis for next-generation nanosystems. The WORLDCOMP’09 talk is organized like my other presentations to industry conferences and corporate audiences, linking an overview of current directions and longer-term prospects for nanotechnology to a discussion of how these developments will affect the more specific interests of the group (photonics, cosmetics technology, venture capital — that sort of thing). I’ve been encouraged by the follow-on discussions that have resulted.

FYI: Update the link for “Talk Slides [pdf]“, it’s missing a colon, and has a double http. Other links are good :)

I enjoyed that slideshow. I would really enjoy hearing the audio that goes with it. :-)

How about video tape the presentation and post it to YouTube.com?
