Here's some interesting stuff I found about John von Neumann. He was mentioned in the article.

Nano technology will probably have a deep impact on these kinds of processes. If you can assemble an object atom by atom, then yes you could assemble anything, given the correct raw materials.

We are essentially biological machines.... I would strongly dissaggre with the statement that machines in inherently evil. I believe that those who hold the contention that we can build machines smarter than ourselfs are suffering from extreme huberis.

People need to start thinking more about the things around themselfs, as extentions of themselfs.

I have 29 Strains as of current.. I LOVE TO TRADE. See my bio for the strains I currently have.

I seek: Strains I don't have, exotic species, Edibles, Vacutainers, A accurate scale, chicken manure, worm castings, worms for making my own worm castings, plastic lids for mason jars, light malt extract, Kelp Meal, A Ph Tester, A microscope.

Nano has it's place in a self replicating system. That is for sure.

One of the biggest advances nano will bring is perfect materials. A perfect steel crystal is 10,000 times stronger than our strongest steel today. The things we could do with molecularly perfect steel boggle the mind.

People would still die in 60+60 mph head on collisions, but their cars would be unharmed.

In order to destroy something made of this material by kinetic force you would have to hit it hard enough to raise it's temperature to almost 2000?F. That much kinetic energy would probably atomize the steel into a fine powder in a very high energy explosion.

However, if you let all the oil run out of the engine, it would still seize up when the steel got hot enough to melt.

Quote:

even if you paid almost nothing for a fab and a CD full of CAD-CAM plans, you've got to round up some low-cost atoms. Where will they come from? Garbage - scrap plastic, glass, and wood pulp, in particular. This is a source of atoms people would actually pay to get rid of.

These machines could be a great solution to our garbage problem. It would have to be sorted, but after that there are basically free materials that people can use to make 'anything' with if these machines work. Best part is once the items you make with the machine are obsolete, you take them apart and use the materials to make something else.
