As taken from the wiki site in bold font:

“The first use of the concepts in ‘nano-technology’ (but predating use of that name) was in “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” a talk given by physicist Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959.”

Two years after I was born there was talk of this new technology, it has however gotten ever so closely to becoming a reality in the 21st century.

“Feynman described a process by which the ability to manipulate individual atoms and molecules might be developed, using one set of precise tools to build and operate another proportionally smaller set, so on down to the needed scale.”

As I have said many times before I am not an expert on the science or development of nanotechnology, I am however, someone who is wondering what the big secret is. Sure you can find articles and government bodies on the development but it’s very low level. The futurists have a clearer picture of how these nanomaterials will be used, and thats the problem.

Will we know when and where not to mention how nanotechnology will be used? It will be used to improve our health, it wmay even be used to track a great many things including you and I. I’m not trying fear monger, I am merely talking about what the possibilities are and might be in the next ten to fifteen years. It may take longer but I have a feeling we are much father along than you and I are aware.
