Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology ~ the manipulation of matter and machines that is at the scale of one-billionth of a meter (1 nanometer) or 1/75,000th the size of a human hair

Source: Sandia Laboratories

Locking System For Nuclear Warheads

Interviews with a group of nanotechnology experts yielded this list of likely developments …..

• 2-5 years from now:– Car tires that need air only once a year. – Complete medical diagnostics on a single computer chip.

– Go-anywhere concentrators that produce drinkable water from air.

Source: World Future Society


• 5 to 10 years– Powerful computers you can wear or

fold into your wallet. – Drugs that turn AIDS and cancer into

manageable conditions. – Smart buildings that self-stabilize

during earthquakes or bombings.

• As “baby boomers” age and live longer, there will be higher demand for geriatric care and home health care

• The demand for nurses will continue due to growth to meet the needs of the industry, and to replace nurses leaving the profession

• The trend toward “well care” will place higher demand upon occupational and physical therapists

• Continuous health care reform will cause the need for more physical therapy assistants and medical assistants who can perform many of the functions of the primary practitioner at a lower cost

• Genetics will challenge the health industry as moral and ethicalissues arise from new discoveries

Note: All of these issues and many others are under scrutiny for reform by the government
