Human Enhancement and Nanotechnology
http://www.foresight.org/policy/brief2.html
Human Enhancement and Nanotechnology. A Foresight Nanotech Institute Policy Issues Brief. By Jacob Heller and Christine Peterson. Some worry that human enhancements may create undesirable pressures to enhance. Would it be possible to compete for a job if everyone else was enhanced mentally, to compete in athletics if everyone else was strength-enhanced, or compete for a spouse if you were not physically enhanced?

Monitoring the real world with cloud computing. Cloud feedback serves many masters. Once data about a process is collected and analyzed, the process can be improved. Most of the time, it’s improved in more than one way at once. Cloud feedback applications nearly always have multiple paybacks. Safety, maintenance, and fuel efficiency. Security, comfort, and energy efficiency. Water purity, safety from property damage, and water efficiency. Reliability, reduced labor, and energy efficiency. March 2, 2010.
