Exploring the Future with Nanotechnology

Exploring the Future with Nanotechnology
In the future we will use nanotechnology to target cancers and/or other illness. We can use the computer outside the body to control nanobots and theses cell-like bots will target cancer cells and destroy them. They can target illnesses like Alzheimer’s and possibly repair cells or replace them with nanotechnology. The attached YouTube video shows current technology, but even though the computer chip is very small, it is still too big for entrance into the human body.

Within this video they talk about surgeons that could use this technology to assist them as they operate. For example: Rather than using current stents and bypass heart surgery techniques, the doctor could use nanotechnology to unblock arteries. So, opening someone up to perform heart surgery would become a thing of the past. In my mind this type of surgery is a miracle but also archaic. Opening someone up to fix them, rather than working from within using nanotechnology. Just send these small cell-like nanobots into the blood stream and have them do the repair or unblock any arteries would be less intrusive. In a sense we could have them continually working and become part of the human immune system.

Now if we take it a step further, we can see how nanotechnology could integrate the computer technology as part of us as human body. Currently we have external computers using a keyboard and mouse as input devices, we could eliminate these. The computer could be within us and we would access that information through our thoughts. They could integrate with our neurotransmitters and become part of our thought process. So, accessing the internet would be like thinking. The thought would have access to some kind of external internet allowing the expansion of ideas. Now if I could only stop that pop-up advertisement in my head, life would be good (smiles).
