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.

Alternative Energies Update
PetroAlgae promises to cheaply provide both food and fuel from just sun and algae:
It is absolutely amazing the things they could achieve with algae, especially as a bio-diesel fuel source. There is an interview with Richard Armstrong, a CEO of a major alternative energies company, at http://www.ourblook.com/component/option,com_sectionex/Itemid,200076/id,8/view,category/#catid92 which is entirely about algae as a source of bio-diesel. I find the work being done in this area really exciting.

Interesting stuff. I hadn't known we subsidize the oil industry THAT heavily....
