This was a summary of science lecture, which took place in the First Congregational Church.
(這個科學講座是因為學校有贊助,所以我們可以自由索票然後再到學校附近的教堂去聽演講。)
The speaker of " A Future of Radical Abundance : Nanotechnology Transforming Material Civilization" was Eric Drexler.
The outline of the lecture including, exploring potential technologies, atomically precise fabrication today, atomically precise manufacturing,and some implications.

First of all, high throughout was to ask several questions about the future, such as predict specific scientific discoveries, predict specific technological developments, predict specific winning technologies to make money, and explore timeless technological potential.

Secondly, atomically precise fabrication today, which has specialized functional components. For example, electronic, catalytic, biological, structural, electronic, optical, optoelectronic, electromechanical, electrochemical. After we have those components, the next step could be to build systems. A path forward to atomically precise manufacturing. At that time, we would have factory-style machines perform motions, mechanical motions guide bound molecules, reactive molecules bond on contact, and precisely guided molecular motions thus enable atomically precise fabrication.

Next, from devices to machinery to factories. In other words, from nano-devices to nano machinery to nano factories.
At the end of the lecture was about some implications. IBM Blue Gene supercomputer, Billion-CPU laptops computer, aluminum structure costly fabrication.
I learned some concepts on nano technology, and I think that will help me in the near future.
