What are your thoughts?

After watching this I was thinking how cool is this... then my mind started taking me to some very different directions, so I was curious what your thoughts would be.

yeah it's neat, until someone finds some sort of military application

they....already have. many times over....

 

[bowlfullofbliss]

kind of creepy.

 

[420God]

You could really freak out some people in Roswell with those.

 

[BarnBuster]

swarm behavior is weird even in biologicals.

 

[Eclypse]

I want them!

 

[neosapien]

The future of drones. And Skynet?

Still badass.

 

[silasraven]

wondering more and more if i want to continue in a world like this. but that half of realizing my families fucked genes and seeing how this world is ending up. i think death is looking prettier by the advancements in tech

 

[MojoRison]

Thanks for the input guys, I was thinking maybe some sort of mapping device we could use for caves or a recon unit for the retrieval of disaster survivors.

 

[silasraven]

hey can i use a 3d printer to make one of those?

 

[Fenian Brotherhood]

My thought is: I don't need a Light mover for my plants anymore. That's some serious Batman shit

I was thinking two things, 1. spying by private investigators, or even peep freaks. It looks like cameras on those, so you could fly right up to a window without being seen, and get away clean if it's captured. 2. movie applications, or video games, but I'm sure they're past this.

Why not send them to Mars or any other planet for that matter, maybe make them so small {actual nano size} and transport them via laser to distant stars...stoner thoughts

Dammit Jim, your a musician, not a physicist!

Nano bots, especially swarming bots, are cool, and scary. In the right hands, they can deliver lethal doses of medicine to individual cancer cells, map caves, or (when so equipped) survey wreckage from disasters/acts of violence/acts of war, discover the condition of the wreckage, and find survivors. Of course, in the wrong hands, killing just got easier, as did spying, etc. Maybe that wreckage -- that "disaster" will have been caused by nanobots swarming and cutting supporting foundations on the building.

How cool. At this phase of my life I don't have a need for one, maybe later. Sadly, I see regulations from a government hungry for control.

 

[dirtsurfr]

We're gonna need a bigger fly swater!!

Scary...yes I can agree on that. Especially when you base your hypothesis on human history and how the advancement of technology occurs in unison with military advancement. I would like to think we would use this to advance our understanding of the universe and ourselves then play into history's account of how we always fuck it up!
