Nanotech dreaming
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 at 08:00AM A while back I had a blog about far out product ideas. Here is my favorite entry from back then, just for fun.
In the future no one will bathe.
We won't brush our teeth or floss, or cut our nails, shave, or put on moisturizer. Teenagers won't use zit cream, either.
No, we won't all be French (as my wife suggested when I mentioned this idea yesterday).
We will be crawling with tiny nanobots.
These self-replicating, self-programming devices, smaller than a dust-mite, will live invisibly on our skins, in our orifices, even in our guts. They will digest our secretions for fuel and spend their time cleaning, repairing, and maintaining our bodies. 24/7 they will keep our skin and hair shiny clean and unblemished. They will clean out our pores, drain our sinuses, scrub our tooth enamel, eat away at excess hair and nails, sweeten our breath, even digest our navel lint.
We will effortlessly look our best at all times. Except maybe for bed-head. We might still need to comb our hair once in a while, I guess.
