XX Annual Strategy Conference - Strategic Implications of Emerging Technologies


Prefacio español

Mientras que acá atravesamos las crisis financieras, del ladrillo, del turismo, de la cirugía estética de consumo -tetas, labios y estiramientos varios, ya saben- y, sobre todo, de la comunicación política, es bonito comprobar que por ahí fuera se piensa en el futuro.

El Economista ha editado Oficial y licenciado donde algo dice servidor de Uds., (Ecoaula con el texto íntegro, pgs 4 y 5)

En la foto de arriba, hay muestra de microrobótica con, sospecho, algún elemento de nanorobótica dentro, con un enorme parecido con a una libélula / mosca cojonera, muy útil para infiltrarse, observar/atacar y exfiltrarse...

Si la crisis de gobierno no altera los planes, algunos españoles se reunirán para ver que hacemos con las tecnologías duales de las que disponemos. Somos, créanlo, competitivos en bionanotecnologías.

Ignacio dijo...

A mi con esto de la Universidad de Defensa y todo eso me queda un dudón; en que quedaran los estudios de los oficiales de la Guardia Civil, o estos no entrarán en la academia de ofciales, o les harán estudiar dos o años de una ingenieria o... ¿directamente a Aranjuez?

Anónimo dijo...

Ya lo dijo Rubalcaba, de químico a Ministro del Interior. Los Oficiales de la GC serán ingenieros.

Ignacio dijo...

¿Cuando dijo eso Rubalcaba? Pfff... En fin, supongo que será muy útil tener ingenieros industriales en la GC. Supongo que no hay carreras más acordes con la función que ejerce la GC. En fin, este circo es suma y sigue.
