Also, there seems to be an explosion of implementations happening.
We have three areas: Electronics (fast chips), material (space elevator, space ship hulls), and health.
This could be the greatest invention ever.
Carbon is a very root pure substance as a basic building-block to all life. If you burn anything allot of it turns into carbon. It combines strongly but is easily broken apart.
Diamonds have similar, very structured, carbon like properties so are the strongest (most valuable) substances known to man. The Carbon Nanotube process probably is stronger and able to be created on the fly as well as manipulated. Having control at this root level provides a large chance to construct just about anything hence infinite commercial apps.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/01/040107072303.htmThis is known as an NED computer screen where it will consume low power, 50 watts, and will be very cheap, like 300 USDA, for an 80 inch screen maybe 50 for a 19 incher. plus flexible like the newer screens are like OrganicLED screens. It will also have the same picture quality as a tube monitor because it uses light on phosphorus as well. Funny that basic life is made of phosphorus and carbon.
