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.
