At the tail end of Silicon.com’s story about the technologies recommended by the Council for Science and Technology is this short section: “The CST also named four ‘platform or enabling’ technologies to support the above, including increased internet bandwidth for homes, businesses and mobile devices. The other areas are cell and tissues therapies, pervasive systems (networks of intelligent and pre-programmed devices providing services and information) and simulation or modelling technologies.”

From our point of view, there seem to be more IA issues with what they call enabling technologies than the technologies themselves… most of which we have discussed at some length here. Any thoughts? If Blindside cobbled together a commentary piece on this, do you think it would be appropriate to forward to the CST?
