NEXT WORLD - Intel Claytronics (Programmable Matter)

"Claytronics" is an emerging field of engineering concerning reconfigurable nanoscale robots ('claytronic atoms', or catoms) designed to form much larger scale machines or mechanisms. Also known as "programmable matter", the catoms will be sub-millimeter computers that will eventually have the ability to move around, communicate with other computers, change color, and electrostatically connect to other catoms to form different shapes. The forms made up of catoms could morph into nearly any object, even replicas of human beings for virtual meetings.

we are now slowly transforming into a type 1 civilization ^_^

Porn will reach max level x3

A room full of programmable matter will allow us to have a Holodeck like in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Hurry up and get this stuff working! I want my Holodeck!

So this is how Gorge Jetson was able to fold his car into his suitcase and how the terminator from the terminator movie was able to shape-shift into any form or being he wanted to become.

@phantom1000A Please explain how you know this to be true.

@SeanACampbell We can't improve with ignorant people like you walking around

[IvanderHaisley]

@SeanACampbell oh .. i'm sorry but.. your the one who should be careful .. one of my comments are on top 2...so ... i thought that you meant that .. im sorry >_<

[SeanACampbell]

@IvanderHaisley You asked who doesn't want to improve, and I said the religious. I am not sure what you missed?

[IvanderHaisley]

@SeanACampbell what??!!!!

[SeanACampbell]

@IvanderHaisley The religious.

if these programmable molecules can change shape at the rate of 40 per second we have a proper physical 3D vision. all the television can end up in the landfill, i think this is the future for bringing digital world into real world.
