I think people here seriously underestimate how long nanotech will take. Suppose you have a machine which takes atoms and deposits them onto a surface, building it up layer by layer. This is possible with today's technology, but it's a slow process.
I don't think it's that far away. Decades (or at least years) ago, the US Navy developed a laser so focused and controlled it could write messages on one face of a cube of salt.
