Slade Gardner

Right.. [laughs] but it’s still a hard question. My dreams about nano.. I have dreams of interfacing machines with biological organisms. If you could make repairs and modifications to a human, you know, if you had things that could search and destroy diseased-areas or repair damaged tissue or bone. Most of my dreams for nano, I wouldn’t say most, but a lot of my dreams for nano are to extend human life. I think that when we start to look at the nanoscale, we can really create devices that would not be terribly invasive to a human. It might benefit quite a bit. I also have dreams about making structures, simply because that’s my focus of research and my background. I have dreams of making nanostructured materials that have extended capability. My nightmares about nano.. my nightmares are.. with my description, it’s a little unreasonable, but that would be some sort of self-replicating or uncontrollable, destructive, you know, device or thing that would.. that would uh.. eat us all! Eat us all! Another nightmare that you have to consider is that when we start messing around on this new scale and we really don’t understand too much on this scale right now. When you start messing around with viruses and things of that nature, you could probably develop or alter something that might become uncontrollable.
