Wheres my bloody nano microwave?
Answer:
The feature size (size of the smallest feature) of an Intel Core 2 Duo processor is 90nm. Next gen is 45nm, followed by 32nm. Or at least that's the plan.
Building small stuff is easy. Building something useful is a completely different story. What would you build if you had a 90nm set of lego? Keep in mind that the associated costs are astronomical.
Revolutions are few and far appart. Most ideas are some modification of existing technology. This is the natural progression.
Note: All of our electrical technology is a slave to mechanical technology. Namely the steam engine. The vast majority of electricity is generated by a steam turbine that is mechanically connected to an electric generator/motor. The reason, reliability. The steam engine works when the wind is not blowing, and when the sun is not shining.

Nanotechnology has already happened. There are nanomaterials in clothing, cosmetics and sunscreen. nanotechnology is driving the 60,45 and 32 nm nodes of the semiconductor industry. Nanobiotechnology in the form of cancer therapies are being tested.
Basically that's it. I do not think you will see nanobots or any of that junk. nanotechnology is not a revolutionary technology, its an evolutionary technology.
try 30 years. and there ain't no thang as a "nano microwave" idiot.
I'm waiting for micromachines and nanobots (atleast 50+)
I was reading Consumer Reports on nanotechnology and It said they are making some breakthroughs. One is a shirt that regulates your heart, a bloodless sugar monitor for diabetics, and solar panels that are very tiny. Also they are creating nanobots that can target cancer cells and wipe them out. Of course all of these things have problems to them which will be fixed in due time. For now all we have is nano bots in our sunscreen to help block more then just UV rays
