tringtring discovered 5 months ago- If you don't have a super-fast, super-small computer in a few years, blame the moral majority. It turns out that most Americans find nanotechnology, the scientific field most likely to produce such a breakthrough, morally unacceptable.

- i'm not even quite sure what nanotechnology is but i'd probably call it an invasion of privacy before immoral.

- From the page: "Our first reaction was that 70% of people must not know what nanotechnology is -- President Bush, who has openly relied on moral views to shape his scientific agenda, has made nanotechnology one of his scientific priorities, after all. And Dietram Scheufele, the U of W professor who led the survey, agrees to a point. People's understanding of what nanotechnology is hasn't advanced much over the last few years, he tells the Business Technology Blog. "So people rely on mental shortcuts," lumping nanotechnology in with other new technologies like stem cell research and genetically modified foods, he tells us. The same people who object to those fields -- often on religious reasons -- object to nanotechnology." ... and here I was thinking that it was people's fear of a grey goo scenario or fear of the unknown -- take your pick ... or perhaps more aptly, why is it that religion isn't more often equated with willful ignorance ...

- What the helldamn? I know I shouldn't be surprised, since nearly every scifi book i've ever read that had nanotech either involved some heavy pandora's box story behind it or involved a "grey goo" scenario, but this is still a shock.

- More proof that ignorance is a problem, and that religion supports ignorance.
