Final Paper Draft
Topic: Nanotechnology and its Medicinal Uses
Thesis Statement: Nanotechnology revolutionized medicine with the use of nanorobots and nanomedcine for better cure of diseases.
NANOTECHNOLOGY: ITS APPLICATION AND USES IN MEDICINE
What is Nanotechnology? Why is Nanotechnology important in the first place? These are some of the obvious questions that popup in our minds. Within our stock knowledge, we would only know that Nanotechnology is about these small robots that have special jobs in different aspects of our lives. From concerning our health to even ending our lives through bio weapons. The point is that nanotechnology is a fast improving human feat that can change lives. The use of nanotechnology in the field of medicine could revolutionize the way we identify and heal wounds to the human body and disease in the future, and countless processes only conceptualized a few years ago are making exceptional breakthrough towards becoming realities.
Nanotechnology can have a discussion from its roots of science and engineering all at the same time. This mixture of two human inventions and skill brought about a new generation for mankind. Nano is a prefix for a thing that is a billionth of that thing. Imagine, these things can only be seen through a microscope.
Small robots at nanoscale are now doing big things for the world. Nanotechnology is designing, manipulating, building, producing applying devices under one-hundred nanometer to control its shape and size, properties, and functions. (Freitas, 2005) It has been developed by humans for a few years now. Even at its baby stages, great feats gave been achieved by humankind. Nanotechnology is making a debut as a new branch of science and engineering and there has been problems and evaluations from some groups who are scared that there might be risks to humans and the environment that we don't know about yet, for example

    It’s safe to say that Kurzweil very passionately supports the development of said nanobots and his description of the near future seems to have roots closer to fairy tales rather than reality. He discusses at length the many benefits of this emerging technology while having very little to say on any of the possible repercussions that could come along. The idea of robots which can, in essence, control whether or not people live or die would obviously present many more problems than the new Olympic rules that Kurzweil presents as one of his few downsides. These miniature robots would bring up countless moral, financial, and political dilemmas. Kurzweil focus is mostly pointed towards the medical applications of nanobots which he believes will be able to substantially extended human life and be one of the most effective ways to fight disease.…

    With this new technology, you would be able to cure cancer safely and quickly. The Nano bots would be more precise than chemotherapy. Doctors would only need to use three main steps to cure the cancer. First determine the cancer cell’s characteristics. Then program the Nano bots to attack that type of cancer. Finally inject the Nano bots in the patient’s bloodstream to seek and destroy the cancer cells. In the future, I believe that cancer would no longer be a life threatening disease and would be as easy to cure as a common…

    Who Is Wendy's Supervisor

    • 289 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Wendy, the supervisor, has been in her position for the last 5 or 6 month. She heard the previous supervisor was “pretty strict”; the cause of Darla’s behavior might be the former supervisor. It seems like Darla is afraid of making mistakes, maybe the previous supervisor was harsh on her when she made a mistake. Or, perhaps the previous supervisor was a micromanager that wanted to be informed of every step of her work because Wendy states that Darla “won’t go ahead” and do stuff “unless I say so.” Another reason for Darla’s behavior might be, she does not have enough confidence in herself because Wendy said, “her work is all right” and “it seems like she does know” how to do the stuff. However, she relies on Wendy to tell her when to do it and “what to do next.”…

    Nanotechnology and the use of Nanobots is an innovative, up and coming technology. When used in the human body it is acting as a major enhancement to the human immune system and modern day medicine. Many studies suggest the acceleration of the curing of widespread diseases such as AIDS, Malaria, Cancer, etc. This technology also makes it possible to easily transport blood and scientific testing samples without the lack of refrigeration becoming a problem. Knowing this, the use of nanotechnology will become a revolutionary tool for medicine and industry alike.…

    With history, one must begin with the past. Of course, like most things, nanotechnology was just an idea or concept; a concept that was proposed by the physicist Richard Feynman in 1959. He stated that he wanted to build tiny factories all manufacturing simultaneously. He continued to say that it does not violate any laws of physics and has not been in practice only because humans are too big. The practice of it began to develop when the scanning tunneling microscope was created. This enormous microscope allowed humans to view the height of individual atoms. What was seen looked like some alien landscapes. However, using the same machine, they could also move, pick up, and place the atoms, rearranging these landscapes into their own. Nanotechnology is starting to skyrocket these days. It is one of the major studies right now. Many products are already using nanotechnology. These products are batteries that have longer life spans, sunscreen that doesn’t whiten the user’s face and bandages that kill bacteria. But what will there be in the future? There are chances that the uses of nanotechnology in The Risen Empire can become real. There may be nanosuits and nanoships, but most likely not until the distant future. Other possible products in the distant future may be disease killing nanotechnologies that roam the body, destroying threatening bacteria or viruses.…

    He describes the benefits of current AI, as well as the AI’s role as a personal assistant rather than a malevolent overlord. I agree more with this view than with the doomsday prediction provided by James Barrat. While I understand the dangers of AI, he is combining the dangers of AI (A clearly developing technology) with the dangers of nanotechnology (A still very far off technology) into one issue. I do not believe this approach is realistic. Artificial intelligence is already all around us, but it is so integrated into our society we do not recognize it anymore. It is already becoming our personal assistants. I recognize that I am biased towards the benefits of technology, as I love seeing new types of machines being developed, and I believe it will only help us. This source would help my support my opinion, as I agree with the author, and can use some of the highly regarded individuals’ comments to back up my claim. I may use this source in my paper, depending on which particular approach I decide to…

    Have you or have you had someone, that was near and dear to your family and hearts, pass away and think to yourself “If medical technology was just a little more advance, they might have been able to still be here with me today?” Or was their life, cut from your life to soon, because of the need for more advancements in the medical pharmaceutical side of things such as medications and treatments. Maybe, even be able to give them the therapeutic device that would have been able to give them a longer life expectancy? One thing to think about is that over the past thirty years advancements in the Biological, Pharmaceutical and Therapeutic device fields of Medical Technology has greatly improved the life quality and expectancy of many human beings.…

    Ai has the argument of how it can benefit to humankind’s needs. One positive factor is Nano bots, “… these bots could fights diseases in the human body or eat radioactive material on the planet,” written by Nick Bostrom, author of the book “Superintelligence”. A plus for AI is that these machines can help everyday life to be easier for us, for example: Siri. But, one thing leads to another. Once the public sees the “goodness” in AI it will be like a kid in a candy store, we will want more and more causing further advancements into AI when we should halt its advancement. Nano bots will be used in medical fields which will become very useful until these machines realize the only way to get rid of the disease they are made to fight is to kill humans prone to get this disease through…
