That my friend is not possible once nanotech gets going. Hackers and crackers will make sure the nanotech gets out, and reverse engineering will be done.

I don’t think the final sentence is a typo. My guess is that the “cheap products” and “inflated prices” goes to the issues of justice and exploitation and poverty. Specifically, in a world of cheap (practically free) manufacture, there is still the danger that the manufacturer will charge consumers the same as they pay now for similar products and severely overcharge for new technologies. Thus, the corporate entities reap HUGE profits while the benefits of cheap manufacture are not passed on to the public and specifically not passed on to the poor. Thus, a world in which the benefits are held close and the risks spread among all.

the trouble with nanotechnology is the left is talking always about its evil.until those that deal with begin to explore the idea of using time travel with temporal echos as resources beyond resources to al least alleviate poverty instead fear and control you can bet the farm that humanity will lose no matter what race or religion you are. one may not stop all violence but maybe it is time to talk about what really can be done. perhaps that silly debate about real estate in jerusalem might not matter at all. christ could do things and maybe he is trying to show the way.

Kinda sad that the entire article is about responsible use of nanotechnology and yet the immediate assumption is one of evil because it happens to be an Arab talking.

This is not such good news. This confirms a fear I have had: What if the Muslims get nanorobotics technology and weaponize it? Imagine terrorists with nanotech! America and others must develop it ASAP!
