Even though the more extreme potentials of nanotechnology may not be realizable, there is enough going on in this research for ecological groups to be up in arms, as this article records. Much of this currently resembles looking at a scummy swamp -- there is a lot of bubbling and thrashing going on, but we really can't see below the surface.
Merely moderate nanotechnology still will have some far-reaching implications, not least of these for the machinery supporting IT.
