Technology

The new technology which interests me the most is nanotechnology. When I first read Neal Stephenson's "The Diamond Age" years ago I became fascinated. I think the medical aspect of nanotech fascinates me the most--the idea that microscopic machines could be created to, say, be released in the body and destroy cancer cells. Of course there is a huge margin of error and potential for problems but if the technology can be perfected, it could be revolutionary.
