Nano technology

WOW! Nanotechnology is so sci-fi, and yet, so real at the same time. It is exciting to think of the possibilities, yet frightening. It makes me think of the movie "Inner Space" where Dennis Quiad is put into this submersible-type machine and shrunk down and injected into the body of Martin Short. He, of course, is able to see and fix problems that would otherwise go un-fixed. It is exciting to think that we can manipulate things at such a small level because so often, that is where the problems actually begin. The idea that we can manipulate things that we cannot even see is hard to comprehend. But, isn't that what we do every time we use a computer/handheld?

Nanotechnolgy is certainly the cutting edge. Just like so many other applications, it begins with a very specific use, and is then adapted to every day life. Can you imagine being able to change the color of your walls with the seasons? It certainly was not developed with that in mind, but it is headed that way.
