Just to let you guys know, Eric Drexler terms of the field of producing self-replicating nano-level machines as "Molecular Nanotechnology." Engines of Creation (1984) is his public manual on his Nanotechnological vision. Nano (1995) by Ed Regis is a great biography of the field and explains where we are going very thoroughly. Nanotech is a LOT more than facial reconstruction, as someone suggested in an earlier post. Nanotech is about manipulating individual atoms on the molecular level! They have already done an experiment where they manipulated the structure of carbon atoms and formed a diamond atom...this is only the beginning though; when self-replicating nanomachines are actualized the revolution will be one unseen (and greater than) the Industrial. Effects will be worldwide, highly changing etc.. Anyway, hope you guys catch up with the field.
