The miniaturization, the wireless coding.
I mean, all the problems that we had back in the day, they're sort of just evaporated.
The chips get smaller and smaller.
The power is better and better.
So I, too, am optimistic.
If you were blind today, you'd wish it was ready yesterday.
Sure.
But it's going to take investment, and it's a hard problem.
We don't know how long it's going to take, whether it's Alzheimer's or schizophrenia.
We just keep investing, and our country keeps giving it to the entire world for free.
We're sequencing the entire genome.
We just gave it away.
Who does that?
That's just what we do.
So I think that kind of thing, when I see something like that, we can monetize it.
We can patent it.
We can say you can't use that gene.
I invented that gene.
No, we're not going to do it that way.
So I just think we've learned some good lessons about how to just innovate and share.
