In 10 years, tiny nanobots in your blood might help keep you from getting sick or even transmit your thoughts to a wireless cloud.
Ray Kurzweil, described as a Google futurist, claimed nanobots in the bloodstream will prevent us from dying by 2030, protecting biological systems at a molecular level[1]
DNA robots are already being tested in animals to seek and destroy cancer cells, while human trials have not yet happened[1]
Proposed uses include delivering micro-doses of drugs, reducing vein plaque and monitoring the body with data sent to a cloud; transmitting thoughts to the cloud is called the most far-fetched[1]
Harvard Wyss Institute research used nanorobots with antibody fragments for cell signaling in tissue culture as a proof of principle[1]
Some researchers expect about ten years to overcome challenges before nanobots are used in some surgery, while others doubt they are the best use of limited healthcare money[1]
The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
A leading naval architect recently gave some predictions for the future of 3D printing in the yacht manufacturing industry. The technology stands to hugely improve efficiency in the manufacturing process, an industrial-grade printer should be ready by the end of this year, and 3D printing entire yachts will be possible by 2030
