Like what about creating self-replicating assemblers that convert atmospheric carbon to raw material for industry? According to Engines of Creation, such a system, fully implemented, would in just ten years remove as much carbon dioxide as has been dumped into our atmosphere since the start of the industrial revolution.
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.
