« From HAL 9000, in 2001, the Space Odyssey, to R2D2 or Z-6PO in Star Wars, the image of the fearsome enemy robot or faithful companion has long been a must for anticipatory movies.

The first stretched from 1770 to 1850, with the first factories, then the steam engine and railway network. The second from 1870 to 1910, with the birth of aviation, automobiles, electricity and telephony. These inventions changed the world around the electrical and transport networks. The third revolution began around 2000, with the arrival of NBIC technologies (Nanotechnologies, Biotechnologies, Computer Science and Cognitive Sciences) that will change humanity. The revolutionary dimension of nanotechnology lies in the fact that life itself operates at the scale of the nanometer - the billionth of a metre. A ladder hithert out of reach for us. The fusion of biology and nanotechnology will transform man into an engineer of life and give him a fantastic power over our humanity. »
