5. nanogenerators: generate energy on extremely small scales. scientists have figured out of a way to generate energy using the friction that occurs when a person's body presses up against their clothes as they move.
future tech: charger-less phones/devices
4. nanotech can save or destroy the environment: scientists have discovered that they can use nanoparticles to clean soil, water, and the air. however, they fear that there may be long-term environmental/health consequences. for example, nanobots are so tiny that many living organisms would be able to breathe in large amounts of them for long periods of time. or, self-replicating nanobots may glitch and accidentally create extremely large amounts of themselves, and then target molecules, or the wrong molecules, in excess. in this scenario, they would be able to destroy Earth in days.
3. desktop factories: people would be able to have personal nano-factories. once we figure out how to build fabricators (nanomachine that arrange individual molecules into useful shapes.) they'd be able to make a lot more of themselves. these fabricators could make powerful and extremely useful things, like computer processors so small that they could house billions of CPU, creating computers far more powerful than the ones we use today.
2. economy: nanotechnology would make us so efficient and self-sufficient that we wouldn't know what to do for work. our economy would have to restructure itself.
1. nanotechnology as the future of medicine: nanobots would be able to swim through your body carrying medicine and target harmful cells.
future tech: nanofactories inserted into the body that can manufacture medicine whenever the body needs it, and sends the medicine to particular cells. may cure cancer.
