Introduction: Imagine
the tip of a pencil containing millions of atoms, how small could that be? The
atoms are so small that it is impossible to see with one’s naked eyes; thus
they are view under microscopes but how can one tell how small or big it is
under the microscope? It is the scale of nanometers, that’s 10-9
nanometers in one meter. So what exactly is nanotechnology? The simple answer
is technology at the level of nanometers, equivalent to millionth of a
millimeter! The purpose of this paper is to discuss issues regarding social, ethical,
security, legal, and benefits of nanotechnology. By scientifically and electronically
storing information to something so small such of miniature chip to do many futuristic
performances, social, ethical, security, and legal issues will be discus among people
once launch will all be mention later. Nanotechnology is rapidly growing and
becoming the most powerful technology for benefits in the future. Though it’s
very small, this so called nanotechnology performs its function more efficient
than other technologies. It is amazing how such miniature chip, smart card,
etc. can hold thousands and thousands of information. Such beneficial
revolution of science is worth making headlines but at the same time, it
touches the issues regarding ethical, social, security and legal concerns for
the public.
