Cybernectics vs Genetic Engineering
#8
RE: Cybernectics vs Genetic Engineering
I don't think such advances will be denied to the everyday men for very long. The real profit obviously comes from marketing such technologies as cybernets to as wide and audience as possible, sort of like iphones.

In my opinion, nanobots will have a much more dramatic impact on human lives than either genetic engineering or macro-scale cybernets. Given the experience with semi-conductor manufacturing and Moore's law, I think it is reasonable to suppose once nanobots begin to become feasible, its prices will sooon fall, capabilities and the number in which it can be manufactured will soon increase along an exponential curve. Within a few decades of the first nanobot, I imagine nanobots will become as pervasive as grains of sand. They would become cheap enough to sell in lots of thousands, or million, and instead of individually being a kind of specific appliances, they can become almost like intelligent raw material.

You can for example manufacture nanobots that can act as a sort of sand in cement, giving buildings made from this cement the ability to change shape arbitrarily on command. You can have nanobots that can float through your blood like redblood cells and make specific targetd repairs at cellular level. You can scatter nanobots in the billions like dust in the wind, and track them and have them report temperature, humidity, etc to produce incredibly detailed and therefore accurate and precise weather forecast. Such nanobots can also enforce surveillence society of a kind that will give NRA ejactulations. These nanobots can be sprinkled like dust onto the unsuspecting and give those who spy on you access to literally everything you seem tough, smell and feel, along with others, without you ever being the wiser.
