Dan Gillmor's article "Nanotechnology: from science fiction to fact"
touches on the area of nanotechnology that both Ralph Merkle and Robert
Freitas have special interest in -- nanomedicine and extreme life
extension. Robert's ideas are simply amazing.
"Some of the most intriguing, and certain to be controversial, uses of
nanotechnology will be in the medical arena. The ability of tiny machines
to repair damaged cells, among other feats, strongly suggests the potential
for an indefinitely long human life span. The questions this raises are
almost limitless."

Big miss!
Robert advised me on my talk at Extro 4 -- nanomedicine and how it relates
to the potential nano enhancements of our current and future senses. He is
simply amazing.
