BrainTech and Sustainable Brains

August 19, 2008 by Alvaro Fernandez

Just read an arti­cle on clean tech, includ­ing a cou­ple of quotes by Klein­er Perkins’ John Doerr sug­gest­ing that

“Remem­ber the Inter­net? Green tech is big­ger… This could be the biggest eco­nom­ic oppor­tu­ni­ty of the 21st century”

because

“Ener­gy is the moth­er of all markets”.

Well, if Ener­gy is the moth­er of all markets…who would be the father of all markets?

The Human Brain, perhaps?

So, I may both agree and dis­agree with John Doerr: yes, clean tech should be big­ger than the Inter­net, and per­haps the biggest eco­nom­ic oppor­tu­ni­ty in the next 10–15 years…but Brain­Tech, tech­nolo­gies aimed at help­ing our brains be more pro­duc­tive and sus­tain­able through­out their lifes­pans, may become the biggest oppor­tu­ni­ty of the 21st cen­tu­ry. We’ll see.
