You hear nanotechnology used more and more often these days – and it has made some impact in everyday life. But the real change and payoff will occur much further down the road when real molecular manufacturing is possible.

Dr. Eric Drexler, author of Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation, has been pushing this field for twenty years, and it’s finally starting to go mainstream.

What Is Nanotechnology?

A nanofactory is Dr. Drexler’s concept for safe production of everyday objects from a desktop device that converts raw material molecules into finished products. In a matter of hours! Various predictions put the nanofactory in the 2020 to 2030 time-frame.

Once the basic capability exists to build large objects – such as a hand-held computer – from molecules and atoms, we will be able to build anything we want to build. This changes how life will be lived more than anything since the printing press.

How Will We Use Nanotechnology?

For example: Your health will be dramatically improved when your immune system has assistance in the form of intelligent virus detection capability. A tiny robot the size of a blood cell can add tremendous detection capability to your existing body immune system.

In a larger context, nanotechnology will allow the creation of incredibly strong materials that allow you to build such things as a global warming moderation system, or an asteroid defense system. Whereas such systems could be built now to some degree, those systems become cheap and readily available with the advent of nanotechnology.

Taking the meteor defense as an example, with today’s technology it would be a $500 million system to build something that could deflect a small meteorite from a collision course with the earth. It would be as complex as the International Space Station. Details of these systems are documented at NanoFuture2030.

Whereas with nanotechnology – and specifically with nanofactory manufacturing capability – you could:

send a fifty pound package to the moon, have that package mine its own resources from the surface of the moon, build a launch capability, throw completed spacecraft subsystems into orbit around the moon, and send that spacecraft off to an asteroid where it would set up, build, and implement a thrusting device on the asteroid that would move it away from a collision course with Earth.All this would occur without human intervention and without cost, other than the original package delivered to the moon.

This may sound like science fiction, but with nanotechnology in the mix, science will become much more powerful than anything we’ve seen so far.

Nanotechnology is a field of science and engineering whose ultimate aim is to build robots smaller than living cells with the ability to arrange individual atoms into any physically possible pattern. Put another way, the aim is total control of the structure of matter, rearranging it at will via molecule-sized machines to suit human purposes.

If you had a “nano-ray” what would you use it to do?
You would basically have gods power. Right?

What if there were Nanites that could eat gunpowder in bullets and literally scour the planet for weapons, knowingly when they were going to be misused. A sort of smart, bacteria-sized robots that could sniff out and destroy ammunition and nuclear warheads, as well as conventional explosives, even the blade of a knife in the wrong hands. Is this possible? Of course the creator of this technology, would have to have anti-Nano Ammo. But still hopefully the establishment of right and good, could actually eliminate killing through weapons.

20 to 200 yrs in the future depending on the circumstance of events. Pharmaceutical, Genetic, and Robotic company’s will merge together to create social standards a firm economic grip on the “free market” and spawn array positives and negatives into day to day life from what kinds of medications you will need for all the “new” virus that will spawn within days or months while both came from the same place, the virus and the vaccine, or replacement part for artifical limbs or power sources for such, both for economically positive and negative.

the very idea of human enhancements is a very interesting in his potentials on both positive to idea that it could enlighten humans biology, complex tasks, knowledge, but also very scary on how it could possibly be used for limitation and control, reprogramming nature and population for purposes bringing about a new age of dependency/slavery. a artificial evolution.

Imagine every day as if its your last…well what if that was the case, a virus designed so itructly that it would take hundred of yrs to dismantle and understand it. that you needed to take your medication or have your injection of whatever in order to survive because the human immune system had finally reached a state of complete understanding, that it now could be made into a fighting machine killing off anything that would harm the body at a price; or a weak, crippled, body unable to fight off even the human cold without the proper medication from the proper company who owns the patent or copyright to anti virus(with biomedical, genetic engineering or nano technology it is possible it is not a question of how because the how exist and why does to, but a question of when) . you would need that company or government to survive in essence creating a form of slavery in a system of complete dependency the laws would be enforced by microscopic police..

from a individual stand point being a extrovert and looking in. i can see most future generations disliking the idea of being human because to be human would be weak incapable of taking any sort daily tasks. self hatred would occur and self mutilation would occur in order to trade human limbs, in for something stronger out of evolutionary standards of artificial limbs, Controlled emotion(during wartime soldiers, police officers, even rioters would be subjected to no emotion or other degrees of emotion to help benefit psychological repercussions or social repercussions like civil unrest) controlled thinking( help people focus or distract people from fact or objective), controlled mobility(limitations on restricted areas {government buildings and complexes} and the mobility of moving through or around them or illegal if a illegal action takes place all limbs would fail to work, to help with rule of law). possible social classes would come from all of this if your poor you cant afford a artificial biological(limb or organ) substitute from a injury or life long handicap. a counter-culture will form from this copying or finding ways around it because where there is will there is a way and nature will have its way, one way or another. a advance stage of evolution could spawn out of this possibly to keep up with this self mutilation.

I just hope, because when there is nothing left there is always hope and faith. that we wont go to far, that we will reach a point where all human characteristics will be unrecognizable, that we will abandon the very natural things that make us who we are and forsake our humanity our ability to love for self hatred. when is far to far? anyways
