I have been considering this thought myself and am awestruck! I'll give it
to 2002. Give 'em a few years to ponder over the perfect nanite design. I
told my christian memetically infected brother and he said "Oh great, the
end of the world in just a few years!". Once nano hits the streets, prepare
to REPROGRAM THE WORLD!! Muhahahahaha! Imagine a perfectly clean house all
the time! or watching a building built quickly as if you were watching it
being rendered on a CAD machine with a wire frame going up first which is
then covered layer by layer of material. Cool!
This is a really exciting time people! WE ARE DOING MORE IN A SINGLE DECADE
THAN IN THE ENTIRE SPAN OF HUMAN HISTORY!!
