Despite the consensus that nanotechnology is some new development, it is something that has been around for years and has won multiple Nobel prizes for its outstanding innovation. The basic idea behind it is engineering functional systems at the molecular scale. This ability is leading to all sorts of possibilities. Some ideas for this science include building tiny machines that can insert the body through the blood stream and fight infections, space elevators, and space cultivation. Stronger metals, protective coatings. This list goes on forever. Just think of what this could mean for our future. The possibility of living a disease free life on another planet, In a home that lasts 100 years with no upkeep, and can withstand any natural disaster. OK maybe we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Think about what this could do for the military. Although this stuff is extremely exiting to think about, it really freaks me out more than anything.
