This is cool, the first major nanotechnology product:
“In the home, spray-on glass would eliminate the need for scrubbing and make most cleaning products obsolete. Since it is available in both water-based and alcohol-based solutions, it can be used in the oven, in bathrooms, tiles, sinks, and almost every other surface in the home, and one spray is said to last a year.”
First, though, I guess we can expect a big frantic effort to stop its sale.

I mentioned the Artificial Intelligence version to a computer programmer friend the other day, whose son was at Mr. B’s birthday party, and he smiled and, in effect, said that I shouldn’t hold my breath. That seemed about right to me, as I have always thought AI was mainly hype.
SciFi writer Charles Stross calls this stuff "the Rapture of the Nerds." Nevertheless I tend to think the Nanotechnology one is actually close, and invisible, injectable robots someday will be scouring the plaque out of Mr. B.’s arteries. For starters.
