Pace of Super-technology Will Define the 21st Century

• https://www.nextbigfuture.com by Brian Wang

The highest potential super-technologies are ones which will enhance intelligence and human control of the material world at molecular and other levels.

The super-technologies are
Genome editing applied to cognitive enhancement and antiaging
Molecular nanotechnology for nanomedicine, next level computation
AI and quantum computers

There is CRISPR and genome editing beyond CRISPR. This can be used for cognitive enhancement via embryo selection and direct editing and modification of embryos and adult humans.

Molecular nanotechnology has been developing greater control of DNA, RNA and proteins but has not reached the point of exponential scaling. Mature molecular nanotechnology would be a massive boost to genome engineering, antiaging and cognitive enhancement.

Ido Bachelet was working on programmable DNA origami buckets for nanomedicine.
