Probably because all scientists have no money whatsoever and are struggling to make the ends meet just to run the experiments they are already working on. Really, it's just too much to expect people to think on their own free time. What's free time anyhow?

"Imagine what would happen if you could introduce your break-through technology to thousands of viewers comprised of venture capitalists, banks, investors, brokerage firms, industrial and research players?"

Probably nothing of any value whatsoever. You might succeed in getting more worthless hype, though.

Why does everyone think that the key to getting nanotechnology here is getting people "excited"? The key is doing hard work in laboratories, not getting banking types who barely know what an atom is to throw money around at random.
