The Holy Grail of Technology


I have always been fascinated by the "replicator" in Star Trek, which is the device that fabricates anything you ask it to make, seemingly from thin air. Today the field of nanotechnology is focused on developing this same type of solution, in which materials can be manipulated at the molecular level to make microscopic machines, or to produce larger objects molecule by molecule. I am by no means an expert in this field, but the potential applications of this technology - both good and bad - are mind-boggling. It is fascinating to think about what would change in the world if everyone had a machine that could make anything.
