Author Damien Broderick on future of work, fun & learning
from the nanoenthusiasm-from-down-under dept.
Senior Associate Dave Sag (davesag) writes "Damien Broderick, author of The Spike which discussed the predicted tangential upcurve in technology leading to a singularity in an upbeat and enthusiastic way which got him quite some press, has been interviewed on an Australian educational site called Learnscope. It's weird. He disses the International Space Station but seems convinced that nanotech will really be the duck's nuts (to coin a phrase). He speculates on the future of work, fun and learning. It's a shame there isn't a nanodot category called 'pop-sci good times'."

The International Space Station is Useless
The ISS exists only for political, not technical reasons. The money would have been better spent elsewhere in space, eg a Mars mission. See Economist article.
