During my recent shopping adventures, I have seen an amazing variety of products made from silicon, things I had never imagined, like bake ware, oven mitts, and ice trays. My friend just purchased a keyboard completely encased in silicon. I now foresee large portions of vehicle bodies being constructed of the same sort of materials very very soon.
Strangely, I remember seeing a program a few years ago about ceramics being made that were to be used in guns, engines and other metallic items exposed to high heat. I had been waiting for the first of these to hit the market. I am glad to see it happen. Technology is a wonderful thing ... I think.
