The notion of tunneling down to the nano-scale to create a new super-IT makes a lot of sense from this perspective, and inevitable from a MEST compression standpoint (shout out to John Smart). :) For a while now I’ve been musing about the relationship between technology, information and physical particles (as many are, I’m sure), and viewing all matter as a continuum of hard-to-soft tech, with information as a soft technology.
