Sweet, thanks for choosing my topic.

If anyone's stumped/confused, the whole idea was 'Nanotech Gardener': In charge of maintaining a garden full of species that are part-organic part-machine.

I assume it's pretty well open for interpretation, though (as usual).

Cheers!

Oh, like the older lady in Minority Report! Sort of.

[Matthew Campbell]

I'm in. The concept should prove fairly challenging to pull off, so it will be a good learning experience.

get the goods on nanotech....we're talkin' micro, baby...micro. or are we? coggy, baby...speak to the masses.

peace.

The gardner being built/enchanced by nano technology could in other words look just like a ordinary person since nanos are too small to be spotted by the eye but that wouldn't be creative now would it? Something really sci-fi then, eh, perhpas something along the way of star trek 'borgs'? sounds fun

[redehlert]

or maybe the gardeners are shrunk by the amazing shrinkydinkydoo ray to work in their 'fields'...hhmmmm?
then they're adequate size. lol.

[bwkeough]

yeah, I'm a little confused by the topic, too. the description would be more accurately titled: "cybernetic gardener" otherwise, all of the action would require electron microscopes to see.

[Corrick]

Wouldn't it be "bio-tech" gardener? I agree... "nano" denotes little teeny plants... or a little teeny gardener...

... and I guess if I'm gonna nitpick the topic, I might as well participate...

[supremedarkling]

Hopefully I can get something out this week... Each week my stuff gets better XD.

[Simon Boxer]

When I suggested it I was just brainstorming.

My thoughts were the garden is the nanotech part. This doesn't necessarily mean the plants are small. It could be a combination between nanotechnology and organics.
Also, if you combine lots of small things and you get something big. You're the scientist here, you define what your tiny bots will do. They could well work as a team and construct a mobile feature around the plants, or manipulate them from the inside out. They can do anything you make them.

The idea was inspired by something I read long ago about experimentation with a partially organic computer that evolved by itself. It was probably fiction, but hey...

If you're really stuck just make a Biotech Gardener.

Edit:

Oh, like the older lady in Minority Report! Sort of.

Yea, even though she managed purely organics (I think?), that's a fair example of an appropriate character.

[Corrick]

Regardless, it's a cool concept... many thanks to Cognition.sb!

[bwkeough]

yeah, I've got some ideas a-tumbling in my head, I just needed to stop and scratch at it for a moment (wasn't trying to give you a hard time, cognition.sb!).

[calebgresham]

This sounds pretty sick. How can I pass it up.

cognition - yes, I saw the movie twice and I'm pretty sure they were simply biologically engineered crazy plants. But yeah, it's the right direction.
