Yes I'd agree that nonotech is going to be big. So is genetics.
My take on the Corporations is that they absolutely rule right now. When one of them can give our missile and MIRV tech to China without a single governmental blink, you've got evidence of a major problem.
Corporations have no (NONE ZIP NADA) loyalty to nation. Some will jump on this statement, but I sure don't see it.
I think nanotechnology will be big in genetics.
