This is an excellent synopsis of the great research and experimentation going on in nanotechnology. I hope it gives you a sense of how these applications impact you directly. As a nation (US), we should be encouraging our young people into STEM fields primarily by not confusing them with pseudoscience that produces nothing but reelected officials. We celebrate the athlete, the reality television star, but not the "nerdy" kid that may invent something that makes her/him wealthy or at least able to afford and raise a family - that person was and still is bullied into terrified silence or capitulation to "fit in" with the so-called cool kids, themselves intimidated by all things science. For every conspiracy provocateur that rants and raves about hidden cabals, I've never heard a proposal that is practical and so in plain sight. It is a matter of values and priorities.
