Paper Summary:
The paper discusses how nanotechnology is rife with challenges and risks; it could be used for the good of humanity or the demise of humanity itself. The paper offers a definition of nanotechnology and then examines the various social and economic concerns of individuals and groups regarding the emerging nanotechnology industry. According to the paper, despite challenges and risks posed by nanotechnology, it will indeed benefit mankind especially in the realm of manufacturing, industry and medicine.From the Paper:
"Imagine 20 or 30 years in the future, you are driving in the countryside in your solar-powered turbo charged car, you are in your middle age and getting into retirement and suddenly you feel a throbbing pain in your chest. You activate the voice-controlled emergency device in your car and in two minutes, a mobile turbocopter whisks you away at the nearest hospital. In the treatment room, the "doctor" (it's actually an android) inject you with a liquid and thirty minutes after, the doctor announced that your triple bypass operation was a success and you can go home in three hours. You thank nanotechnology for those nanobots that made it possible for you to have a non-invasive surgery and be on your way without any complications."Sample of Sources Used:
