There seems to be two glaring omissions from this prognostication: robotics and MEMS. Perhaps Mr. Saffo doesn't think these two areas will tie into or interact with the other areas he cites. But I can think of at least two examples:

  1. MEMS to deliver drugs to diseased tissue
  2. Robotics speeding the development of bionics.
