sciencedaily.com — Scientists from A*STAR’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), led by Professor Christian Joachim,* have scored a breakthrough in nanotechnology by becoming the first in the world to invent a molecular gear of the size of 1.2nm whose rotation can be deliberately controlled.

Now that the project is complete, all the engineers, programmers and technicians will be fired and shoved from the building by an army of security gorillas. Then the rectangle-heads will replace their Spock-phone with wire-rimmed glasses and take to the podium in their long-sleeve blue shirts to announce the public offering.Then the real work will start.A team of management fatass will start humping Powerpoint faster and faster as they inflate the balloon of horses**t around the company stock. Nobody will notice the stench until just before the whole thing ignites. As the fire alarms sound, the lying rat f**ks will toss the remaining cash into a lifeboat and jump out a window, rowing away as fast as possible, leaving behind a note that reads: "Dear Government: The tried to shift paradigms, but the clutch pedal broke. There's cake in the conference room. Send money." It fills your heart with good American values, doesn't it? Let's all sing the company song.

Eventually we'll have injections of nanotech that augments the immune system, given at birth to prevent disease. All disease. Then the augmentations of other bodily systems will start. Sufficiently advanced nanotechnology should also be able stop and perhaps reverse aging.My bet is all this within 100 years. If we don't nuke ourselves first.

I certainly hope you were quoting something, otherwise, that is just crazy talk.

The future is now!People will be living inside cyberspace in 15 years time. Just imagine a PC game being played with full immersion virtual reality.
