Fear the Future (the "we shall live as gods" edition)

So, nano technology has been "around the next little corner" for a while now.  Like a LONG while.  Apparently, we are now one significant step closer to that ultimate freedom/terrifying new future.

If the video didn't look quite so much like the videos from biology class, this might not be as creepy as it is.

So?  Will we live as gods, or be dissolved into a grey goo anytime soon? My bet is that there will continue to be "one more step" right up until the point society collapses and we're unable to advance any more.  The singularity will fizzle out before it really gets started.  Sorry, Ray.
