Hello, 

Primarily, as with any technology, once it becomes cheap and easy, it’s going to be used more and more – so we can expect an explosion of activity and innovation around genetic engineering in the coming years.
From a communications viewpoint, the ability to edit genomes directly rather than splice in chunks of DNA from other organisms also offers the potential to change public perceptions around genetic engineering.

I am providing you the link to the entire article about the field in todays world.

Hope it helps...
