  • What's nanotechnology?


    Imagine having an aerosol spray bottle filled with minute remotely-controllable webcams that you can spray anywhere or on anything and  have them instantly start broadcasting to preconfigured websites or blogs.  That's one of the wild promises of nanotechnology.  Scary, huh?!


    And what's this?


    "Anonymous Internet access is now a thing of the past. A doctoral student at the University of California has conclusively fingerprinted computer hardware remotely, allowing it to be tracked wherever it is on the Internet."


    Don't worry. Someone sooner or later, in response, is going to invent a cheap wireless broadband-empowered laptop that you can buy at a Conevenient store anonymously with cash and toss after a single use.  And it will probably just be a nanotechnological 'core' that you slip into your fashion-fave multifunctional body-borne appliance anyway.


    But, hey, I ran a quicker 5 miles in Dreamland yesterday!  And there was no nano nothing about that.
