Kevin Maney Quote

I have posted one of Maney's articles in Spray on Solar Cells - Weaning the US from Oil, but I just came across a quote of his that examplifies the perspective of this blog. Here it is:

'I try to cover "around the corner" technologies that are
going to impact everyday life, and nanotech is definitely in
that category. I don't even think we can conceive of all the
ways it will affect us. Really, it's like the invention of plastic
in the mid-twentieth century -- plastic became part of
almost everything around us, and so will nanotech
materials. It might make lighter baseball bats, or paint that
can change color, or clothes that become waterproof when
it rains and let air in when it's hot. Watching the
technology unfold will be one of the high points of the
next decade.' - From USA Today
