anyone else really frightened at this tech?

[titchard]

This technology is exactly what I was thinking of when I was younger and heard of cholesterol clogging your arteries - and thought "why can't you just send in TINY little robots to scrape it off?"

It won't be long now lads!

Shame about the destruction of most of humanity though...

 

[Yrkoon]

Borg scare me

 

[Anksy]

Dosnt scare me, only because, when things get to ''I Robot'' stage we will all be dead

I for one will welcome our new metallic overlords with open arms and much, much love.

 

[dustiestrat]

we can rebuild you, make you better ,stronger, faster.

Not long now before we can all get snapshotted and shunted into the Poleis.

You been watching the show, mate?

No, technology always evolves and ways to combat that technology will also evolve.
In fact it fascinates me, how about everyone having a swarm of nano bots, that goes around scrubbing arterys clean and doing other repairs are bodies can't naturally do.

Problem is, this technology and its use will more than probably be so exclusively expensive that a normal person is never going to be able to to afford it. Furthermore, if the army does not want to justify introducing better body armour into the army because of its cost, they will never introduce this technology to save the lives of soldiers whose lives are so undervalued anyway.

 

[Gackt]

Yes, what a good idea. If fighting the robots on the outside wasn't bad enough, we've now got the little buggers floating around inside of us. Great. :/

It's utterly fascinating, and in my un-informed opinion the only way we can hope to defeat mental illnesses.

 

[aardvark]

all this nano-technology is rubbish though - unless there is a giant leap in chemistry techniques, and i mean GIANT, then there is no way a chemist will be able to make tiny 'machines'. Its science fiction, not fact.

 

[Mobius 1]

in medical terms its the best thing since sliced bread, but when will the tech become common enough for the average joe to be able to afford to get treatment from them? :/

But we don't want to spend a lot of money

i saw that trailer lol... one of these cartoons what was it???

EDIT: snd youtube link if poss

 

[Azagoth]

You been watching the show, mate?

Yep.

 

[QlimaxUK]

iv been watchin that terminator series, quite good

 

[HangTime]

Funnily enough I've just finishing reading a fiction novel about this from a few years ago - PREY by Michael Crichton. I'm not his biggest fan as an authour, but one thing I do give him credit for is his impeccable research and referencing.

 

[QlimaxUK]

iv played the game 'PREY' im guessing their in no way linked , just thought id say since its about the end of humanity


EDIT: i dont read



EDIT: books (i read this forum and 'specs' nothin else really )

Small robots programmed to attack certain parts of the body?

No different to Biological warfare we have now.

From a medical point of view it the potential is amazing. Bust a knee, tumours, sight, hearing think of what it could do that we can't do now.

Have to agree a bit. 20 years ago we were forcast to get superconductors at room temperatures that were going to change to world, then they realised in the mid-late 90's its was never going to happen.
