This article is a good illustration of the need to keep technology growth in check. Nano-tech looks great for business, but looking at the bigger picture brings red flags.
This is a really critical part of technology growth: checks and balances. As technology gets more powerful, we need to carefully adapt to managing the power. Fire, splitting the atom, transistors: all disruptive technology that brings potentially dangerous repercussions.
Nano-tech seems like it could produce dooms-day scenarios worse than nuclear winter.
