Nanotech May Extend Life!?
So some of you may get freaked out by this… In 30 or 40 years, we’ll have microscopic machines traveling through our bodies, repairing damaged cells and organs, effectively wiping out diseases. The nanotechnology will also be used to back up our memories and personalities. But I personally am all for it! How very cool…

Motorized Nanobots!?
The media is abuzz with the announcement of a 250 micrometer motor that could someday be used to power tiny robots that swim through human blood vessels. Will tiny nanobots or man-made molecular structures travel the human body performing marvelous medical miracles in the coming decades? Absolutely! http://singularityhub.com/2009/01/20/motorized-nanobot-to-swim-through-human-arterieswe-dont-think-so/ Damn that is so cool. Nanotechnology is…
