Residing in the crevices of
fact and fantasy, dwelling in the atoms of fear and knowledge, lies the
ultimate technology high; nanotechnology.
Imagine a world without taxes,
a place without unwanted deadlines and meaningless hours spent earning money
for big oil, landlords and other merchandisers. To live without poverty and the
loss of loved who become victims of time and cancer. Nanotech can provide all
this and much more.
Nanotech is the answer to all that is positive
and uplifting, the one thing that can make money obsolete, thus ending corruption
in politics, big business and thrusting the world into a place that ought to
be.
With nanotech there would be no starving people in the world thus squelching
the use of the following lyrics by Neal Peart; "Hungry child in the desert
and the flies that cloud her eyes, I get this feeling"...
With the advent of nanotech,
the three classes of people would be reduced to one class. That one class of
people would be much better than our current system of the three classes of
folk; the rich, who do little work and pay no taxes, the middle class who do
all of the work and pay all of the taxes and the poor who are present to scare
the life out of the middle class, keep them showing up to those unrewarding jobs.
The late comedian and philosopher George Carlin defined the current system of
the three classes of people.
Nanotech would make money
primitive and obsolete, enable everybody to have everything they wanted with
the touch of a few buttons according the web site; http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/secret_projects/project263.htm
"Hello
Nanotechnology, Bye, Bye Money!" by Benjamin "Quincy" Cabell V
on the above web site
provides the details for the anything box. In short the anything box is a
device that creates matter, hence making it possible to create things from
nothing.
Eternal
youth and life via nanotech is possible by replacing or repairing dying cells
in the body. Yes this is currently pure fantasy. As of now matter cannot be
created or destroyed. Science experts are working on ways to create matter and
live forever with the emergence of nanotech.
"Nanotech Could Make
Humans Immortal by 2040", said futurist Ray Kurzweil in his October 2009
article on the web page; http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9138726/Nanotech_could_make_humans_immortal_by_2040_futurist_says
Kurrzweil's
article refers to nanobots that may one day exist, taken like a pill and filter
the blood stream for damaged or dying cells and repair or replace them all
together. Nanobots would also have the means to reverse ageing. According to
the above article anyone alive in 2040 or 2050 may live forever in a healthy
and youthful body if they so desire.
Some
people will always claim there would be no challenge in life if nanotech were a
reality and I understand their point of view which is valid. Certain skeptics
of nanotechnology claim we need to work or even toil for the things we need. I
disagree with this way of thinking. I think life would be more challenging in a
nanotech world.
Sure, if nanotech were a
reality, anyone who wanted a car for example could simply push some buttons and
have the color make and model of their auto of choice. If you want a car now,
you have to work or steal for the money to pay for it, so in that aspect the
nanotech way of life is much less challenging. Factor in the above example to
pay for food and shelter as well.
I still contend life would be
more challenging with nanotech. With nanotech, people would no longer have to
work unless they wanted to and everybody would have anything spawned from their
imagination with the use of the anything box. Where's the challenge in that? If
nanotech was in full force, what would people do with themselves? Just think
how easy it would be to do absolutely nothing with your life.
Some people in this would work
extremely hard at their job or jobs, have a nice dwelling, loving spouse,
family and material things, but some of these people when their not at work, do
nothing but relax is front of the boob tube (television set) on their free
time.
A lot of people would do
nothing but take up space if nanotech were a reality. Hence the big challenge
in the emergence of nanotech, you no longer have to work and you can have
anything from
a BLT sandwich to a really cool iPad with the touch of a buttons.
Again the question, what would
you do with yourself in the presence of nanotech? Watch lame reality TV shows
every waking minute, sleep, rise and do it all over again for the rest of eternity?
In a nanotech world I'd learn how to fly an
airplane and helicopter for starters. I can't do that now
because of my income
situation. I'd also land my helicopter on the top of a high mountain over
looking fantastic foliage highlighted by a captivating water fall, and write
book reviews from there.
Be skeptical all you want
about nanotech if you choose, think it will be nothing more than a really cool science
fiction book or movie, but think about the following. What if someone or a
group of people had the idea for cell phones in the 1300s, the ideas for auto's
and air transportation way back in the day or the thought of taking photo's,
(color even) without having to paint portraits or landscapes six or 700 years
ago?
What will people dream up next? Taking pictures and watching movies on a
portable phone?
