Big brother big pharma nanotechnology and you
Abstract:
Imagine a medical device that travels through the human body to seek out and destroy small clusters of cancerous cells before they can spread. Or a box no larger than a sugar cube that contains the entire contents of the Library of Congress. Or materials much lighter than steel that possess ten times as much strength.
Nanotechnology has not received much attention in the news but Natural News has been investigating the use of molecular nanobots in food and drugs. Not only that, nanobots will be building factories and be used in those factories replacing human labor? Sounds like some Star Trek kind of anomaly? Investigation suggests that in twenty to thirty years, societal upheaval will again shift to the nano-era in the same way that computers have changed the way we live and work.
