Intresting article. I first read about nanotech maybe 10 years ago, in my alumni mag. I think there was a lot of discussion about medicine; little nanobots going around eating cancers, etc.
Machine dominance has long been a theme in sci-fi. I'm glad to see the beginning of a dialog beginning about the possibility of it. Needs to be more discussion of the applications of genetic engineering, too, especially where it relates to agriculture. This stuff is getting out into the planet's germ stream too fast; sort of like the early use of antibiotics, which unknowingly began the creation of ab. resistant bacteria.. These genies (jinns and genes) are hard to get back in the bottle once they have tasted freedom. When you open a can of worms, it takes a bigger can to put them all back.
