Maharey: 21st Century learning Environments

Abstract:
Right now, the use nanotechnology can be put to is limited.

But picture this in the future: nanobots are the workhorses of the nano-manufacturing world. They are nano-metre scale robots that can pick up and move atoms and have tiny electronic brains to direct the process. Streaming through the body by the billions, nanobots could chip plaque from arteries, gang up on bacteria and viruses, scour toxins from the bloodstream, repair broken blood vessels, target tumours - the list is endless.

And in your home they could clean up spills on the carpet, clean the toilet - and do dozens of the jobs that occupy our lives on a day to day basis.
