How to give a Nano-Talk

I find it hard to imagine anything more disruptive to capitalism as we know it than nanotechnology. This summer at Singularity University we had the pleasure of meeting Ralph Merkle who taught us how to give a “nano-talk” in order to explain the benefits of nanotech to anyone:

The field of [field] is critically dependent on [product].

[Product] are made from atoms. Nanotechnology will let us make [product] that are lighter, stronger, smarter, cheaper, cleaner and just better.

This will have a huge impact on [field], for example, we could even have [product] that are [astonishing parameter] and cost only [remarkably cheap]!

Here is an example to drive the point home:

The field of [bicycling] is critically dependent on [bicycles].

[Bicycles] are made from atoms. Nanotechnology will let us make [bicycles] that are lighter, stronger, smarter, cheaper, cleaner and just better.

This will have a huge impact on [bicycling], for example, we could even have [bicycles] that are [just half a pound] and cost only [a dollar]!
