When an subject is controversial, one cannot hope to tell the truth. One can only show how one came to hold whatever opinion one does hold. One can only give one's audience the the chance of drawing their own conclusions as they observe the limitations, the predjudices, the idiosyncracies of the speaker.

Great articles : future

Two news articles caught my attention today that described breakthroughs that will have big effects on our lives in the not so distant future.
The first is an article that describes the ability of Biomedical engineers to run a computer simulation of a cell metabolism. This is a big step in making biology a more concrete science and similar technologies will likely come to dominate pharmaceutical and physiology research in a few years.

The second article describes robotic garages that are being built in NYC. This is likely the future of parking in cities. It is safer, better for the environment, and takes up much less space then regular facilities. I predict that in 10 yrs, we will be wondering what we did before.
