In response to the discussion we had about the nanobots that scientists are developing to act as white blood cells, I found other nanobots that can be useful in everyday life. These are by Tim Foncesca.
Such as the barberbot. Thousands of "micro-nano" robots scuttle over the surface of your skin, in quest of hairs to tri
m. The "BarberBots" would each be pre-programmed from a desktop gadget containing a pre-set hair style configurations from which to choose. Just press the Mohawk pre-set button, and the micro-bots will obey.
The makeupbot...These bots can triple as "pixel bots" for general purposes; as "make-up" bots, or as small solar energy collectors.
and they can even make you smarter. Introducing the brainbot. The central cylinder of each Brainbot houses a computer that contains a storehouse of information equalling many large libraries, and instruments for recording "surface thoughts". Billions of these nanobots are in communication with one another, and with the brain cells, creating a secondary brain. I, personally, do not believe that it will ever be possible to download a "conscious" diesmbodied mind into a computer. However, it will be possible to place a robotic brain into a human skull, composed of billions of microscopic nanobots. This would give each human being two brains; an electro-chemical wet-brain, and a dry, purely electronic digital brain. When the two brains interact, a third brain may emerge with qualities for which we can only speculate.

Haha this is really interesting actually.
Wow. I'm glad that you looked into it further.
Two brains... just what I need.
