Nice in parts!

Might be worth taking a look at this article on nanotechnology for some of the interesting descriptions about quantum-dots, electron tunneling, wave-particle duality, and all such geeky stuff. However, I do not understand why such a nice educational piece should end on such a dismal note. Compared to the effort invested in explaining the technical stuff, very little thoughtful discussion, if any, is there in the final ethico-socio-political doomsaying!
