Perhaps we can finally have skyscrapers many kilometres high, amongst other probably more important things
What's more important than giant phallic symbols?

Perhaps the technology could be used to give us giant phalluses

...how does DNA result in the production of a fairly consistent human being? Yeah, it would be a fractal blueprint effectively - the fine detail is adaptive, just the grand plan is adhered to...Originally posted by Azazel
So do you think you'll be able to command them? I don't see how is that possible, besides them following some simple fractal pattern. Now how will you use that fractal pattern in a construction of a building?Speaking of Erith:

It's a lot different. You'd have to predesign them separately for each case, not just pop out a jar of 'house' and radio to them what to do. And in that case, you haven't saved anything, have you?Comment

For Mr Fun, nanotechnology can be applicable to every day life when the technology reaches the point it can be relvent to gay rights, and discussion of the Union Army's victory at Vicksburg.http://monkspider.blogspot.com/Comment

Yes, MrFun. all change is painful. People are conservative by nature, and that's understandable. Without progress being beneficial, who would like progress? thing is, progress IS beneficial, by far overweighing the problems it creates.Comment

I think you miss my point. I can't exactly comment on the exact details but you would have an overall scheme which is built up by nanotechnology. Feedback would define the current point of construction and further instructions would be given according to the status. I don't see what the gigantic problem you are thinking of is...Originally posted by Azazel

Actually we already have nanomachines in abundant use today. Some of them perform chemical reactions, some of them store vast amounts of information used for self-replication. They're called biological macromolecules. Yep, that's right, Mother Nature beat us to it by eons."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

And this will result in another wave of dislocations of previously employed people -- this time in the construction industry, and continued dislocation in other industries, Provost.

No! No! The Federation will save us! No one will have to work! Everyone can have everything that he has ever wanted at the call of a simple voice command. With all that time on their hands everyone will hang out at the Apolyton Forum all the time. Think of it: ALL OF YOUR FAVORITE POSTERS ALL THE TIME!!!Originally posted by MrFun

Eventually even hanging out on the internet will bore us, so we'll drop on by the local Mocaloco Bar and hang out with our droogies and get wasted on Mocoloco. When the thrill of all that wears off we'll roam the streets in search of a little bit of the good old ultraviolence.
