:24:25. > :24:28.be accepted by the young. Computer Aided Learning Systems will provide

:24:28. > :24:38.every child with its own plug-in super teacher. A nano fabricator,

:24:38. > :24:44.in simple terms, assembled atoms into molecules and molecules into

:24:44. > :24:49.stuff. The basic fabric data will autonomous, capable of supplying

:24:49. > :24:56.themselves with any material that Chardonnay to a piece of gold to a

:25:00. > :25:05.and dirt will not cost much, you can did it out of the garden. This

:25:05. > :25:07.is the distant future. The nano fabricator will allow you to live

:25:07. > :25:11.where the you like. If you want fabricator will allow you to live

:25:12. > :25:15.live in Antarctica, you can live in Antarctica. You will not pollute

:25:15. > :25:20.because one of the tricks is that nanotechnology means there is no

:25:20. > :25:28.tech -- there is no pollution. You wake up in the morning and a house

:25:51. > :25:55.hologram avatars, playing the roles. The technology will be easy. As

:25:55. > :26:00.Richard find him and said 50 years ago, there is no physical law that

:26:00. > :26:04.prevents this stuff from happening. The real problem is how to deal

:26:04. > :26:07.with a socially. If I am right in believing that the last how would a

:26:07. > :26:12.institutions are there to help us million years has been us trying to

:26:12. > :26:14.institutions are there to help us deal with that, and the answer

:26:14. > :26:17.institutions are there to help us what governments will do is nothing

:26:17. > :26:19.institutions are there to help us biggest physical change will be

:26:19. > :26:34.with gardens. My goodness! James we leave the environment alone.

:26:34. > :26:36.with gardens. My goodness! James Burke there on the Utopian awaits

:26:36. > :26:50.us all if we can live for the next Burke there on the Utopian awaits
