Biotechnology as a strategic goal NBICS-convergence

And significant interference of information technologies, biotechnologies, nanotechnologies and cognitive science is represented especially interesting. This phenomenon received the name NBICS convergence (on the first letters of areas: N- nano-; B- bio- I- info-; C - cogno- and S - social and humanitarian technologies).

The paper found that the processes of differentiation and integration are merged into a single integral-differential synthesis; increased interaction between the outer inner unity of science, they often they become indistinguishable. This paradigm of scientific knowledge can be called convergent, and differentiation from special directions of evolution science is the dominant aspect of the integration process.
