It will have significant impact on the way we live our lives. To name just a few things: - Things will not brake any more, as they can use hot standbys to self repair, - They are available in a totally new way as for the most part the actual solution is downloaded and you already have a set of units ready to be transformed, - The fact that you have the units already will also make each solution they are used in so much cheaper that from some perspectives they are essentially free. - The fact that the units can reconfigure and therefore are reassigned from solution to solution, will drastically reduce the amount of natural resources needed. I think that this is really interesting ! If you are interested in more information you can find allot on wikipedia just search for Self-Reconfiguring Modular Robotics or you can visit my blog that focuses on this topic overt at flexibilityenvelope.com Later Per!
