Nanotechnology is going to revolutionise life on this planet as we know it. When humans start building tiny, autonomous machines that can assemble and disassemble to form larger machines, people would be so lazy that we'd need these machines to stop us from getting fat. Seriously, the implications of nanobots are amazing.

I recently came across something about the Nokia Morph, a concept “created” by them involving a swarm of nanobots that can assemble into various gadgets with different shapes. The concept video featured a phone that could morph into a wristwatch, a headset...

Okay, I'm going to refrain from saying that it isn't an original idea, because it's still a great idea. If a swarm of nanomachines can form into a silicon chip, a memory drive, an LCD screen, and whatever other components are needed to make a communication device, then imagine what else you could do with a swarm of nanobots.

In the future, everyone will have a little swarm floating near them wherever they go. The swarm will be linked wirelessly to their brains, allowing the people to control the nanoswarm using key thought sequences. On command, the swarm will assemble into anything. ANYTHING. A cellphone. A pair of spectacles. A book, a computer, a trombone. In the case of an emergency, It could turn into a shield, or volt-gun. Or maybe it could perform accelerated healing on your wounds, to keep you alive long enough to reach a hospital. A hospital which will treat your broken bones, your ruptured blood vessels, and your pulverised kidneys within 3 days, using the miracle of science which is nanotechnology.

Then, inevitably, there are going to be arguments against nanotechnology. Usually involving misuse and general stupidity. This is where my plan comes in!

...

Yeah, you all already know what I'm going to do. Or if you don't, you already know that somewhere along the way, genocide, biomass fuel, and sadistically elitist concepts will crop up.

Everyone has a purpose. Some people will work with micro-organisms, helping to increase our knowledge, and thus our resilience against diseases. Others will write and enforce laws that will keep our cities safe and clean. And others will work in factories to produce enough robots to replace them with. Then they will help the rest of us deal with the energy shortage via biomass fuel.

See? Life DOES have meaning. It's just that not everyone has a nice one.

Also, I need to rant about today's Digital Life. The one about internet/sms-lingo. Firstly, “sup” does not mean “hello”, or “how are you?”. “Sup” is a brutalised version of “whassup” which is in turn a mutilated version of “what's up?”. Which is used together with “hello”. While it is also use in place of “hello” that does not make it “hello”!

Also, “srsly” is “seriously”. Not “really”. It does not mean “really”. In fact, no one on the internet even uses that “word” seriously any more. Srsly.

Additionally, “fo sho” is a horribly defaced version of “for sure”. How it turned into whatever DL made it out to be, I have no idea. So I'm just going to stay in my happy little world of unmutilated language(with exceptions). Sorry, brain, I won't let you get hurt so much again...
