Yahoo! News quotes Bill Gates:
"Ten years out, in terms of actual hardware costs you can almost think of hardware as being free -- I'm not saying it will be absolutely free -- but in terms of the power of the servers, the power of the network will not be a limiting factor,"
Gates said this in reference to networked computers and advances in the speed of the Internet.
Nanotechnology will soon not only make any material object easily available with little or no human labor, but it will also provide the object at little or no cost. We need to be thinking about this new economy and preparing for the disruptions it will create.
