Addressing a meeting of the American Physical Society on his latest scientific passion-submicrominiaturization-Feynman took off from the fact that tiny human cells perform a variety of complex functions. He reasoned that human beings could theoretically manipulate mechanical devices on the same tiny scale. Arguing that the technical applications of such research would be "enormous"-it would be convenient, he noted, to be able to store all the world's basic knowledge in the equivalent of a pocket-sized pamphlet-Feynman then and there impetuously offered two $1,000 prizes. One was to go to the first person...

Why the University operator has not been instructed to do this is the question to which I would like an answer. David R. Downes...
