CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION Using the mass computing power contained Using the mass computing power contained

in these trillions of foglets they could be in these trillions of foglets they could be programmed with a wide spectrum of programmed with a wide spectrum of behaviours that mimic materials of behaviours that mimic materials of different mass,motion appearance and different mass,motion appearance and function which will enhance the capabilities function which will enhance the capabilities of human race in the coming generations .of human race in the coming generations .
