just thought ide list a few sights on nanotechnology if anybody has or might have an interest.

http://reason.com/9912/symposium.shtml

http://www.zyvex.com/
www. forsight.com
thesetwo have many links


http://www.xontek.com/ this is unreal
goto biochips/implants
goto 2020 neural chip implant letter
if you dont go to any of the other sights you really ought check
this out some scary stuff / but to think it could also lead to near
immortality someday in a way that sounds cool but in another
even scarier than this letter.........watch out for big brother
in the supposedfuture reality could make orwells book
sound good. sound paranoid....you be thejudge...

Welcome to the board, but i think that last website belongs in the funny stuff section of the board :lol:

Remarkable to see a topic as this on the same forumpage as the ones about abortion and euthanasia.
All deal with the improvement (or deterioration ) of quality of life.

Nanotechnology appears to be potentially to most radical change in the next decade next to genetic manipulation and considering the corporate interrests unstoppable :( .

Apart from use in medicine ,I don't think mankind will greatly benefit from it but it is there and will soon change everyones life.



(btw 1st link is from 1999 :a lot has happened since.)

nanotech research has been funded though the US military budget since the mid '70s
research 'utility fog' for a really out there stated research aim
i researched for most of a year to find it, so if at first you don't succeed...[try a big university library stack]
like all tech it is a two edged sword

imagine how horrible it would be if the military could make weapons as agile as wasps, but imagine how great it would be if your own blood could surgically remove cancer, unblock arteries or clean your lungs

exactly, if implemented properly, you could be given an injection at birth with nanotechnology, which repairs cancer, stops infection

however, wouldnt it suck if the goverment injected soldiers with a bot that poisoned your blood stream or in some other way killed you if you fell into enemy hands?

Potentially, you could have a self destruct mechanism implanted in every human being without them knowing it

pie-in-the-sky i know, but possible

I think I'd have her gagged first if I were you.

I think nanotech is the way of the future; hopefully it will be used mostly in medicine.

Suggested read: "PREY" by Michael Crichton. (Very cool)

If someone read it, let me know.

Go, nanotech!

It must go forward!

Carefully, though.
