The World Motivation
We went from a world where almost nobody knew anything about computers to a world where almost all of us are computer geeks for a huge fraction of our day. And I'd like to see that happen with the digital world of biological molecules, too.

George M. Church speaks about the evolution of computer literacy, noting the transition from ignorance to widespread knowledge of computers. He expresses a desire to see similar progress in the understanding of biological technology. This quote captures the essence of how technology can democratize knowledge and empower individuals across various fields.
Consider how schools now integrate computer science into their curricula, fostering a generation of students who are not only consumers of technology but also creators. Church's vision for biological technology suggests a future where the tools of science are as accessible as computers are today, encouraging innovations in health, agriculture, and beyond. His insight inspires a vision of education that embraces both technological and biological literacy.
