Einstein's forecast is that the next war will blast civilization to smithereens; for the one after that we'll be back to sticks and stones.

Sure, we could (and probably will) use them to battle things like cancer ... but imagine the military uses. Drop a nanite bomb on a city, and watch the city dissolve before your eyes.
So anything emitting heat would not be hit? I didn't Google nanites Walt but it isn't in my Webster's Unabridged dictionary. But the dictionary is old. 1996. So I'll Google it. Sounds like "mites" which don't seem deadly just annoying. Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday! :) OK. I just Googled it. Nanorobots or nanomachines ca be programmed and injected into injured people to perform repairs. Many decades ago I saw a scifi movie about that very thing. A group of people(I think Raquel Welch was among them) were miniaturized and injected into some scientist I think to perform some kind of surgery. It was very long go and it's kinda fuzzy in my mind. But the graphics were amazing. You saw them travel through the body navigating away from parts that were tricky and reaching the injury. Did you happen to see it? So what was scifi is now real fi. Is there a real fiction? Anyway thank you for the information. The world of miniaturization awaits! :)

We are still perfecting the technology. We aren't to the point of having nanites ... but people are already planning what we could do with them.
The movie was Fantastic Voyage. Yes, I've seen it. It's also been spoofed a couple times in Family Guy. One time, Stewie (the "baby") shrinks himself down to destroy "the competition" and prevent his parents from having another child.
