[quote:2342:MV8xODIyOTExXzMwMzc1NzYxXzQwOTk0NkY5] [quote:Monbazillac:MV8xODIyOTExXzMwMzc1NzQwXzVBODE0RUQ=] too much time in their hands, they followed the road of crazyness what a pity :crazyjak: [/quote] [i]The astronomer Carl Sagan once asked, “Who speaks for Earth?” Soon, the Earth may speak for itself. That’s the goal of HP Labs Central Nervous System for the Earth, or CeNSE. The research and development program aims to build a planetwide sensing network using billions of tiny, cheap, tough and exquisitely sensitive detectors. “We’re surrounded by technological assets that are deaf, blind, can’t taste, can’t smell and can’t feel,” says Stan Williams, an HP senior fellow who leads the Information and Quantum Systems Lab (IQSL). “CeNSE is all about giving all this compute power the awareness of what’s going on in the environment around it,” says Peter Hartwell, senior researcher and project team lead. [/i] http://www.hpl.hp.com/news/2009/oct-dec/cense.html These guys brag about spreading 1 trillion nano sized chips across the planet for 24/7 VR tracking of the World and its inhabitants. These chips are so small they can easily get lodged into humans and animals. [/quote]

This is phantasmagoric exotica at its finest right here.
Scientists are creating nanotech that is equipped with medicines, transistors, sensors and key components that can use bacteria as a transportation source. Like hopping a train to travel the country. Great concept if you think about it. This is a natural way of transportation mother nature provides. Now lets look at the dark side of this incredible technology.
What can the Harkonnen do with these Nano Cylons? Designer disease created wifi with the push of a button? Don't forget the self replicating Synthetic DNA aka grey goo or the nanotech that boasts rewriting matter at a cellular level.
How about the Nano Goblins that turn brain cells into micro sized CPU's with multiple transistors?!
Good stuff.....
"Cargo-carrying bacteria may be an answer to a major roadblock in using nano-medicine to prevent, diagnose and treat disease," David H. Gracias, Ph.D., leader of the research team said. Gracias explained that nanotechnology is the engineering of ultra-small machines and other devices. These devices generally lack practical self-sustaining motors to move particles of medication, sensors and other material to diseased parts of the body. So why not attach such cargo to bacteria, which have self-propulsion systems, and have them hike around the human body?
