I am a quiet person, I never knew I was a geekl until my wife told me I was. I love to learn, play music, write music, deign buildings, machines, and just about anything, I have my own business doing that. I think computers are one of the more finer inventions mankind has created.

We actually have nanobots, but not to the degree that you see in movies like iRobot. They are mainly used to repair small circuits in science research facilities. But hopefully soon they'll be able to repair pretty much everything or do our bidding (take over the world anyone?). And another wish is that everything happens while I'm still living. Then it'd be twice as cool.

That still doesnt seem that realistic to me though maybe im just being a cynic but to me it sounds like we dont exactly have the tecknowlogy just yet to make something that small and be able to program them to do tasks like that.

i brought a cf2 microdrive the other day for my camera, when i relised that in a couple of months we could see them in laptops as the main drive, they already go up to 8gb and are a fraction of the weight of a traditional ide drives.
not matter how many people know technology, no one can argue that its a bad thing or that it hasnt changed / saved lives, i have a relative who has a company making endoscopy equipment, even that amazes me, how a tiny camera can be put in and guided round the body.
not long now before all this technology comes aloive and takes over mankind eh? hehe anyways.. i guess i'm not as impressed in technology as i am about how people managed to live without it before it existed. It really has changed the way we look at life.
