I think there’s a lot of biotech development underway that will make our world look fundamentally different in the future. We’ve seen this a bit with the mRNA covid vaccine. I’m excited about the prospect of novel cancer treatments, crispr and its potential to treat genetic defects, protein folding, etc. Maybe these types of techniques can continue to benefit from even incremental progress in computer technology. I feel similarly about other fields — that progress there is just waiting on today’s computing frontier to be applied to them. This all may be an incorrect view, however. My only experience with the biotech I mentioned has been through press, which can overhype.
- newyankee 5y agoMy main concern is that FDA needs to update its approval processes for new techniques with time especially in cases where people do not have an alternative. I am more skeptical of any new tech being accessible to global population though, it will come down in price only with time, so I am not sure if I can personally afford something cutting edge the way a billionare or multi-millionare can.
