New NanoBio Paradigm
Value creation transforms from
physical to intellectual
Information/ knowledge content of
NanoBio products eclipses their
physical value
Industrial Age:
Conquered space
Information Age:
Conquered time
Bioterials Age:
Conquer matter
Recommendation:
Every high school should require 4 years of biology
