Predictions for when nanotechnology will begin impacting our world were offered. According to the article, the range of opinions is wide, but they average out to:

• The first molecular assembler: 2011
  
• The first nanocomputer: 2041
  
• The first biological cell repair: 2029
  
• The first commercial product: 2004
  
• The first nanotechnology law on the books: 2009
