    Although it is all far off from reality still

I wouldn't be so sure. Between the Tom Clancy style mini-biographies (God I hate them) the article mentions that this could be worth billions, and they are right. This means genome research gets done quicker. This means new crops are developed faster. Human genome editing will come much later. The ability to do research that is already being done with more precision is what's important. Money is the great motivator.
