theres a possibility that a runaway acceleration of personal fabrication technology could ignite an early hard-takeoff singularity- right now people printing graphene quantum dots with DVD burners and inkjet printers- graphene is hexavalent lattice of carbon- a universal metamaterial that is hundreds of times stronger than steel- but flexible as paper or plastic- the cheapest thing on earth- made of ash and soot- 1000 times more conductive than metal- later this decade smartphones/ devices/ and most surfaces will be replaced by flexible graphene epaper/smartglass devices- every component replaced by superior graphene electronics- from the graphene battery - a hundred times more storage than current technology- which will also contain a graphene photovoltaic and kinetic self-charging system- to the circuits and processors- woven of graphene ribbons- to the haptic 3d holographic touch screen display- with molecular resolution- even the speakers will be made of graphene- quantum dots are nanostructures whos surfaces can mimic any electromagnetic property of any element or chemical [ chemical properties are based on the shape of electron clouds- a quantum dot has a surface of programmable electron clouds] - with graphene quantum dots you can create a utility fog that can assemble into anything you program- from nanodrug microcybernetic components and nano BCI neural interface nodes - to large-scale biomimetic robotics and endless devices- to spaceworthy inflatable smarthabitats and personal spacecraft- in a few years we will be able to print complex graphene quantum dot structures with later generations of 3d printers- instead of a robotic assembler- the print chamber will contain arrays of aerosol spray nozzles- which will spray graphene aerogels and hydrogels into spiderweb lattice architectures of nanofoglets and quantum dots- the possibility of individuals having access to such a Philosophers Stone - literally weaving programmable matter structures into reality from smoke and mist- totally open source- no law or slow manufacturing process to prevent the explosion of novelty- might lead to a singularity sooner than everyone thinks-
