X-Message-Number: 10731 From: Subject: nanotechnology References: <> Date: Mon, 09 Nov 1998 19:33:45 EST What do you mean by "variety" of nanotechnology? I do not care if we get nanotechnology by bottom-up, top-down, inside-out, protein engineering, scanning microscopes or little elves. What I want is to get Drexler's MNT ASAP. Yes, bio-technology CAN be called nanotechnology. So can paleolithic stone tools (stone is made of atoms and molecules on a nanometer scale, and chipping it into tools is a technology). I also don't know when "soon" is. Soon means different things if you are waiting for Christmas to arrive as opposed to waiting in line for the men's room!:-) My gut feeling is 2020-2050, but I may be wrong. or Tom Mazanec to humans ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
