Answers to Burning Questions You Haven't Asked Yet
There's been a lot of talk in my family recently about NanoTechnology and it prompted me to go and take a better look into what it is, what it might imply for the future.
The skinny? Nanotech is THE brave new world. It is a whole new universe of possibilities and things that were previously thought to be impossible becoming possible. But its all conjecture and theory at this point, the technology is in its infancy but will almost certainly grow to be one of the most important advances in science in the last hundred years. And no, that's not an exaggeration.

But I've only been able to scratch the surface, there is far more to read than I could possibly do in a day or week. But it'll be interesting to see where this all goes. And it'll be cool to see my uncle in the thick of it.
