Nanotechnology, Fantastic possiblities fantastic dangers Options

[Intestinal Chaos]

Who here personaly views nanotechnology (especially the possibilities nanobots) as as a positive thing? Personally I'm split, we could do fantastic and terrible things. Overall it seems to dangerous though, a possibility that we could make an army of bots that replicate and repair themselves that are designed to deconstruct organic matter seems a little to risky to me. I just know somebody will try to use it as a weapon. On the other hand it could make fantastic leaps and bounds in health care and even slow then eventually stop aging (which is fantastic to think of but definently NOT worth doing).

Like I said before, overall it's just too dangerous.

Oh and don't forget that the US military has put massive funding into Nano-Tech armor, to the point where it would be a flexable as normal cloth, but when struck with the right velocity and force would (at the same moment) change the atoms to a rigid formation..

I cant some it up tell well but according to them, the tech will be in use by 2010.. but knowing how things work, dont expect it to be untill 2016..
