This is a great discussion about the future of computing and nanotechnology. Seems like that is all the futurists are talking about, but it is fascinating. I really think he is on to something when he talks about nanobots used in internal medicine. That is really fascinating, almost a real life Fantastic Voyage (minus Raquel Welch)! I am science buff, especially human anatomy and physiology (some of my undergraduate work was in biology). But if we can get nanobots to fix what we can't get medicine to fix, or surgery to fix, that will be a major breakthrough. I imagine one day having nanobots that can fix genetic mutations, that cause hereditary disease. Imagine the possibility of that!
