I know from your homepage you are an engineer. I'm not, so I'll defer to you on this . . . But isn't it at least potentially very impressive that they have nano-grippers, nano-rotors and gears, nano-conveyor belts, nano-walkers, nano-memory, nano-circuits and other circuit elements, etc.? Personally, I think it's fascinating and expect soon we'll start seeing lots of nano-devices that will have amazing properties and that will be built up from these components. Where am I going wrong?

Actually, please don't necessarily defer to me on this. I'm still smarting from many years ago predicting that "computer viruses were all just a bunch of hype". :(

However, we in the US have a rich history of hyping technology advances that never live up to their promise, and I must say that before I am an engineer I am a cynic.
