About this Quote

Ralph Merkle's quote talks to the capacity of nanotechnology to change computing. He recommends that nanotechnology will allow us to construct computer systems that are incredibly powerful, with more computing power than exists in the entire world today, contained in the volume of a sugar cube. This suggests that nanotechnology will enable us to produce computers that are much smaller sized and more effective than present computer systems, and that the capacity of computing power is far higher than what we have today. This might have a huge impact on the method we utilize computers, from the way we keep and access data to the method we communicate with innovation. Nanotechnology might open a world of possibilities for computing, and Merkle's quote talks to the potential of this technology.
