This article reminded me of a Wired article I read years ago. After a quick look I found this: The New Diamond Age - http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/diamond.html http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/diamond.html Some lines in the Smithsonian article are almost word for word right out of the Wired one which seems slightly odd. Either way, a very interesting topic.
