After all, if everything we know is stored online, and we all carry around smart phones to instantly aid with factual queries, and our brains are actually adjusting to these changes, then it appears that technology and biology have at last converged into one seamless, packet-fueled stream.
Indeed, the parallels between information technology and molecular biology are striking.
The other two focus on i nformation technology, and on biology and medicine.
Technology has enabled what biology could not, creating millions of children for parents desperate to conceive them.
To borrow a phrase from designer Charles Eames, eventually everything connects: entrepreneurship, technology, economics, biology, psychology, law, physics, art, music, design, love...
