I imagine someday we may be required to have "antivirus" nanomachines protecting us needing to be updated regularly from the provider of our choice. Every inch of the earth might one day be covered with such protector nanomachines to keep rogue nanomachines from running amuck and wrecking havoc. We may come home someday to find a new "nanite virus" has reprogrammed our bushes and shrubs to be blue with pink polka dots. We will adapt and move on. We'll learn to keep backups to restore "our system" to a previously stored state. There will be inconveniences, threats and deaths but we will be free and we will be participating with reality in a meaningful way. We will still be doing things that matter because each of us has nanomachines to aid us and protect us and to keep us reasonably equal to our neighbors.

From this freedom and participation, nanotechnology and humanity will advance at an extreme pace.

Laws will exist, criminals will exist, taxes will exist, wars will exist, peace will exist. Humanity shall move on much as it has and perhaps grow wiser. We will bring life and our dreams beyond this Earth.
