Lol. A friend made a good point. If they are going to do it, they better do it in twenty minutes or less.

It's fun to watch! I used to fly remote controlled planes - I'm guessing they use computerized navs for these little creatures.

Very cool. You can imagine the fun of the people who developed these little machines (although I don't get the "nano" because they are so big; I suppose some of the parts were manufactured with nano technology?).
It's what humans do with this of course that matters. But it's been in the works for some time. I'm sure the military is already using such for reconnaissance or delivery. Technology will not be halted (unless we destroy ourselves). The brilliant Michael Crighton wrote a book about nano machines which used logarithms for movement derived from insect behaviors called Prey. He always did extensive research, so whatever he wrote was very up-to-date. His last book, which was finished by another author because Michael died, is Micro, and uses miniaturizing technology to bring humans down to the insect world, and is really fascinating.

That's awesome the better the technology the closer it will be to meet the physical world with our imagination.

Even one of those sounds extremely loud. This wouldnt work for surveying civilians unless they were extremely noisy civilians operating heavy machinery or something.
The figure 8 and the flying through the window and reforming was really impressive. Not to be a 1 upper, but I saw this article about remote controlled insects a few months back: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15875522

Gaw, it's not a competition,D
Friend says, "batteries are going to need to improve draaaaastically. Right now, if these thing are going to take over the world, they better do it in twenty minutes or less"

I was joking about the 1 upper part... They are flying nano-machines, I posted it because it was related.

Awesome, now it's only a matter of time until a messed up Matrix/Terminator hybrid scenario happens.
DID WE LEARN NOTHING FROM THOSE MOVIES!?
