Will the development in Nanotechnology prove to be bane or boon to us?

Like any technology, nanotechnology can be used for good and for evil. While nanotechnology will likely lead to exciting new medical treatments and incredibly strong and light materials, it could also be used to produce invisible weapons and for other negative purposes such as spying. Having the lead in nanotechnology could mean military supremacy during this century.

On the positive side, nanotechnology could be used to create tiny machines that scour your body to remove cancerous cells and repair other damage such as clogged ateries. Also, perhaps computers could be made even smaller using nanotechnology, and certainly building materials could be made much stronger an lighter. But at what cost?

I'll interpret it another way, any technology decreases human work hence is a boon. All technology displaces more humans from work, than it engages, hence is bane. It's just like a coin, whether it is head or tail depends on, from which side you are looking.

It will work both ways. Never mind war, how about personal freedom. Governments will be able to spy on anyone and they will never know it.

Companies will be able to test products without the subject knowing. But on the other hand, surgery will be easier.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
