To me, the dream parts are that we’d have gotten so advanced that we can send in these molecular machines into living organisms, for me since it’s the biological applications that interest me. The dreams all center around building these sophisticated molecular machines that can go into the living body and basically act like our cells currently do. That is, they can interrogate other cells, fix cells, fix diseased areas – that would be the ultimate dream for nano, I think, is to have built machines that are so efficient at such a small scale. The nightmares of nano is the same things that the dreams are that is, having built these, what will we have unleashed in terms of consequences. You can imagine these same machines going awry in people, going out of control, getting a mind of their own. So I think all those are the possible same dreams/nightmares. But I think again that with patience, not oversell things, and focusing a few years at a time as opposed to saying we can build such machines in the next decade, saying instead we can build them in the next 30-50 years, I think that’ll hopefully get us there.
