quantum manufacturing?

i.e. nanotechnology having the potential to literally create
anything

i read something about this several days ago...

go to your local store, deposit a television and several
radios, and get back a stereo system. fucking k-rad

Why go to the store when you could have your own
Nanomachine? If they were cheap to make any one would be
able to buy one. Guys would have it build them women.
People could have them build guns, or bombs, or viruses, or
bigger dicks. It would be nice to not worry about starving,
but I'd rather not have to worry about the risks involved.

this science is just mind-blowing to me.. I've been studying
it for a few months now and I still am unable to grasp the
ultimate (or eventual at least) potential of it's
facilitation.. we'll never know what will/could be until
it's going on, today, in the present

my guess is that it will be very contained (as I'm sure
there will be a lingering political philosophy in the US
rooted in tight-assed conservatism preventing this
technology from being fully realized .. even though denying
its getting out of control is a good thing) and reserved for
a very limited amount of [privilaged] people and [dire]
situations.. this is most likely because in the outset, this
is likely to cost the government, or whoever's interested a
few dollars

anyway, a few months ago there was something in the new york
times magazine (I think it was) written by michael chrichton
(jurassic park) detailing the many potential uses of
nanotech (the book he was concurrently promoting,
prey is about a swarm of out of control nanomachines
wreaking havoc on earth, a feared danger of self-reproducing
nanomachines) through nanotechnology one could change the
color (and design, shape, texture ANYTHING, come to think of
it- yet since this technology will most likely not escape
the corporate stranglehold that has taken the internet et al
and used it to sell its products..I'll think of some ways
this can be used to sell, concerning vain things like
personal appearence, clothes, makeup, cars etc) of..
basically anything.. your hair color, skin tone, tattoos can
now be as temporary as one chooses, the paint job of ones
celica can be changed many times even in one day, eye
color.. fuck anything

also, since most things can be formed out of nanomachine
clouds there would be no more solid WALLS.. meaning, yes, no
clipping mode would be on AND YOU COULD WALK THROUGH THE
FUCKING WALL !!!>@!

A more serious danger of nanomachine technology involves the
ability to self replicate. Imagine that a nanomachine has
the ability to make a copy of itself by rearranging the
atoms contained in any nearby matter. Since it is producing
an exact copy of itself, it is likely that the 'offspring'
machine will be able to replicate. This is, after all, the
way in which nanotechnologists intend to keep the cost of
nanomachines down.

So now we have 2 nanomachines that can replicate. One more
cycle will produce 2 more, which leaves a total of 4.

4 becomes 8.

8 becomes 16.

16 becomes 32, and so on.

After only 27 generations we would have over 134 million
nanomachines on our hands. Since they are molecular, this
doesn't seem like a big number. But the number could keep
growing. After 39 generations there would be over 549
billion nanomachines on the planet. The point is obvious.
Without a way of controlling the reproduction of
nanomachines, the planet is in danger of being over run.
Furthermore, since the nanomachines are using the planet's
resources as raw material with which to replicate, the
danger is that the planet could eventually be transformed
into a seething mass of nanomachines.

Yep- an ultimate matter destroying virus :)

it would be alright if they were all edible, it would then
be useful us, instead of harmful....
