| NanoTech in a nutshell |
By looking at the John Curtin Art Gallery exhibits I could see just how far nanotechnology and art have come and how it is making people see things in a new light. One exhibit that stood out to me was the bone audio speaker. In order for it to work the bone needs to vibrate and thus be looked at the smallest scale and nothing that our human body can sense on its own. I think it is truly amazing how far we are able to take things and how our future is continuing to change with the development of science and technology.

In his TED talk, Ray Kurzweil talks about information technology has the ability to change humanity. As technology is changing so is the way we are thinking about changing the world and humanity. Yes, it will be complicated but we are learning more and more data on a daily basis that is fueling an increase in productivity. For instance, we are doubling the amount of solar energy we are using every 2 years and that is thanks to the nanotechnology that we are applying.

Similar to you, I was unfamiliar with nanotech but was impressed with how integrated it is in our lives. I enjoyed your discussion of the John Curtin Art Gallery and the bone audio speaker, and thought that was really interesting to read about. Good work!

Hi Sandra, great blog! Likewise, I did not know the extent to which nanotech is so prevalent in our lives despite having heard of it in many sci-fi movies and tv shows. I also find the entire field of nanotech to be so intriguing as the materials the scientists work with is so small, yet the impact it has on all aspects of our lives in unmeasurable!
ReplyDeleteHi there Sandra! I love your post. I wasn't aware that Nanotechnology could create the bone audio speaker, that sounds very interesting. Great blog!
