What I know will happen first - is the access to this will be limited to only those who are in the elite class. That is fairly normal, as it has to start somewhere with funding. Decentralization is what hopefully kicks this off into high gear as it has with so many other things.

The question is - will we see it in our lifetimes? Difficult to say but intriguing to think about. Having a pod that you can get in and press a few buttons and it scans, treats and heals you up in one swoop. Sounds good except knowing that it will be used for evil for quite a while before it is used for good. Pessimism mixed with optimism, yin and yang.
