Joho reports from PopTech on a talk by Christine Peterson:

“Nanotech, she says, has not been overhyped. It can change our relationship to matter. Nano, she says, is about changing the structure not just of nanos but for objects of any size…

…Christine suggests a possible future: You have one object in your house and it changes into the various objects you need.”

Forget what Nick Hornby did – that’s really going to screw-up Desert Island Discs.

The post also points to the wonderfully-named Utility Fog.
