Ok let me set you guys straight. Fetcher, those are some crazy conspiracy theories. Buzz UK, nanotechnology DOES exist. They have made a few nano-bots in laboratories in a vacuum. They are incredibly expensive and do not have the ability to self replicate. In fact they are nothing more than sensors, really. But they still are a microscopic machine with a microscopic microchip. It seems liek science fiction now, but so was space flight in the 40's. Kombucha, I justy threw that AI thing in for the hell of it. The first nanos will just have pre-programmed tasts set into thier systems. However, who knows what will happen hundreds of years down the road.

One application of nanites that I didn't say before woudl be the ability to war a kind of nanite exoskeleton. The swarm of nanos would enter your bloodstream and coat you skin. Basically, a person with an advanced nanoskeleton would be able to:

Breathe underwater
Super-strenght, super speed, super reflexes
Active camoflage (like a chameleon)
Resistant to extreme heat and cold
Bullet-proof
Augmentation of the healing process


Also if they could truly figure out the brain, nanites could augment brain activity, exponentially increasing brain power.

By the way, I'm not just pulling this out my ass. There was a big feature on the history channel about it.

In case you dont know what nanotech is here are a few links. http://www.zyvex.com/nano/ http://e-drexler.com/p/idx04/00/0325nanoOverview.html Basically, nanotechnology is he use of microscopic robots to manipulate objects on a molecular scale. Also, scientists say that these "nanobots" or nanites could be given the ability to self-replicate. This means that, theorietically, a swarm of nanites could exponentially expand, consuming all life on Earth. Just in case you were wondering, Rating: 5
