Nanotechnology is being used more and more each day. Nanotechnology is used in new devices to make them more efficient, lighter and smaller. This is a complex technology that is inside many of the things we use today such as iPods, phones or laptops.
I want to learn...
Two things I consider interesting learning regarding nanotechnology are what common things we use everyday contain them and what are the origins of this type of advance.

I learned...
- This type of technology came form a Nobel Prize winner, Richard Feynman. He said that physics showed the possibility of working atom by atom in order for things to function. All of his ideas were expressed in his book.
- Nanotechnology is basically building things from a molecular scale. It is building things from the bottom up.
- Some of the things that benefit from nanotechnology are sunscreens, clothing and even Antimicrobial bandages.
- Nanotechnology is measured in nanometers and a human hair contains around 24,000 nanometers.
- Now a days, nanotechnology helps in medicine to create new cures and improves electronics.
It relates to me because...
Today my life is dependent to electronics. In the future, nanotechnologies will make everything I use easier. Today, I use a lot of things with nanotechnology and I don't realize it. Most of the things that make my life better have nanotechnology in them.
In the Future...
I will like to learn more about the structure of something that contains nanotechnology.
