No I am not. I am merely trying to get the community aware of the issues, I am not spreading fear to the general public.I am trying to be truthful and straight.
I have a horrible feeling that nanotech will become the next GM food scare or BSE crisis, but worse. Doesn't anyone realise the horrible potential of this technology? If someone developed a rogue nanobot, it could quite literaly turn the entire world to sludge. I'm not saying that this could happen now, but I bet you that various governments arounf the world are working on it as we speak - they are suicidal that way.
Isn't it about time that science realised what happens with technologies like this in the public eye? First science puffs them up as the cure to all our ills, and then there is a mistake, and then the technology is tarred as the spawn of Satan.
I would like to see science pre-empt these predictable problems by creating a watchdog body that will watch scientists and inform the public properly. The scaremongers are always among us.

Basically, its this:
1) A business depends on its brand name.
2)Most people are stupid, and the only reason they remember a business is by its name.
3)People will forget and be unable to recognise businesses, if these names are not strictly imposed.
Put simply, our system of commerce depends on Brand Names, at a very fundamental level. I can understand this companies actions, they are just trying to trade and make money, after all.
