I have been saying for years how with the increase in comp power we will see great innovations.

Just one example is rapid prototyping. e.g., 20 years ago if you wanted to invent something you would first need to design and engineer it, then physically build it to see if it works.

Now it can all be done in virtual space on a $1000 desktop computer.

And thats only the physical. We can now model and engineer the abstract. Meds, therapies, and so on. And its only going to move faster.

The best part it that this work is not just being done in the ivory towers of big universities. Its also being done by the ordinary guy in his basement.

Uh, that would be me. Exactly.

Like global warming/cooling?
