nanotechnology, why study anything else

[sexualjesus]

recently ive been interested in getting into the chemistry field, 3 years majoring in chemistry then sub majoring in medicine, but this all leads to the same path of the future, nanotech.

just looking at CPU's you can see how nanotech would help, compared to the 1000 transisters that make billions of computations every second, make some nano transistors out of hydrogen and spark them up with nanotubes, or light based transistors, and then you can fit billions of transistors that can make hundreds of billions of computations, thus makeing a singularity.

its the future of medicine, the future of technology, even looking at how the brain works you can see its use, the brain has chemical neurons placed in a dome rather then a 2d board and can thus power an imagination, with nano tech we could use transistors to replicate a brain only powerful and running on electricity and thus make another singularity, are these ideas feasable and nanotech is as dangerous as people think it is or has it all been tried and failed?

sure is, but its still a long way away. most of my professors are nanotech scientists actually, since my course deals with molecular manipulation anyway.

for example, my mechanics professor is working on a way to store hydrogen in carbon nanotubes, another is working on nanoprocessors. though ive looked at a few of my friend's course notes and it all seems to revolve around purely on production of nanoparticles. it still requires a whole slew of other science and engineering fields to back it up.

awesome technology, how does it compare with "quantum" computer technology. I remember reading something about IBM experimenting with that a few years back. Possibly even organic computers.

would nano-technology be better, worse, about the same level of awesome?

the most promising quantam comp design is based on nano tech, gas reacting with gas, look it up if its good enough for quantam comps nano tech must be good enough for normal comps.

also well said mantikore, i looked up courses based around nanotech and the only one i could find at my uni was medicine nanotech, since it was virtually a chemistry/medicine school with little to no physics

this was posted earlier on one of the other forums, i haven't looked at everything here, there may be something related.

I have found some good stuff on electronics and basic principles of electronics, which i needed to catch up on, lol.
