RADICAL THINKING is so refreshing after decades of the twittering mealy-mouths. "We are building a self-learning robot that can learn biology 10,000 times faster than a scientist can. It can learn from the iterative experiments and make the changes and redo them."(J Craig Venter, of course). " " http://lnkd.in/G9dXqP. View in LinkedIn

A THOUGHT LEADER IS OPTIMISTIC. "Venter also comments on what we can expect in the future. "We are going to learn fundamental biology faster than it was ever thought possible."" " http://lnkd.in/G9dXqP View in LinkedIn

BIOLOGICAL TELEPORTER. "Venter...is currently working on what he labels biological teleportation systems that will allow for cells to travel at the speed of light. Based on 3D printing technology, the new systems will in Venter's words, "is going to disrupt the entire system."" " http://lnkd.in/G9dXqP View in LinkedIn

TELEPORTING ALIEN LIFE? No use being out-of-the box if you cannot have fun and be off-the -wall! If you can email organisms why not ETs! "Venter said he plans to send a machine to Mars to seek out Martian life and sequence its DNA. The alien genome could then be beamed back to Earth, where it could be reassembled in a super-secure space lab." Got to love this! " " http://lnkd.in/w2Ky56 View in LinkedIn

FASCINATING HOW PESSIMISTS gather around luminary visionary thinkers, nipping their heels with jealous negative carping: "it cannot be done", "it will take decades", it's unethical", "it's dangerous". Remember the Darwin detractors? Kepler? Einstein? Now watch the niggling around the edge of Craig Venter, and see the true measure of the people who comment. Truly diagnostic. View in LinkedIn

3D PRINTING is about to be eclipsed by DNA PRINTING or perhaps they can fuse as 3D DNA PRINTING? View in LinkedIn

ECOSYSTEM MATTERS to foster technology hubs (new report). "High-Tech and ICT Startup Density," says that a strong regional or local culture of technology entrepreneurship is not a recent phenomenon, contrary to the opinions of many. The top 10 cities in 2010 also ranked among the top 20 cities two decades earlier"."

DEATH OF FOOD? "I look at design and for me, it's like food. It’s very fast and everything I need is in my computer, and I can make whatever I want, whenever I want."" " http://lnkd.in/T9rhRR View in LinkedIn

SOLVING STARVATION with 3D printed food? I love enthusiasm, but P-L-E-A-S-E!!! "He sees a day when every kitchen has a 3D printer, and the earth’s 12 billion people feed themselves customized, nutritionally-appropriate meals synthesized one layer at a time, from cartridges of powder and oils they buy at the corner grocery store".
