Respected Sir,
Subject : Reaction on reading the article 'Nanotechnology Revolution'
Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. It refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up, using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, high performance products.
I wish to draw your attention to the fact that the molecular machinery will result in a manufacturing revolution which will probably cause severe disruption. It will also have serious economic, social, environmental and military implications.
Nanotechnology may offer greatly improved efficiency in almost every facet of life. But as a general purpose technology it will be used in two ways. It will have many commercial uses and it will also have many military uses which means more powerful weapons and tools of surveillance will be made. Thus there will be wonderful benefits for humanity, but also grave risks.
I will be grateful if you could help to create awareness about this.
Yours Sincerely
Akhilesh Khanna
