Rachhpal Singh 12/10/15 Eng. 125 Mr. Jordan Dakin Really Small Thing in a Big World With the boom of modern technology in the late 19th century it has only grown from helping human like through medical innovations to bringing the worst of humanity in the time of war like weaponing tear gas by the French then poison gas by Germany in World War 1. This has not been the first advances in technology. Railroad made transporting large quantity of products from one states to the others faster. Telegrams and telephones made it easier to communicate over large areas in very short time. And then came the internet which tore down all borders and shrunk the world into a new state where a person could communicate with another siting in other country†¦show more content†¦Nanotechnology can revolutionize the world in the fields of medicine, environment, technology, etc. In â€Å"Nanotechnology Could Alleviate Many of the Problems of the Developing World† Heller, Jacob, and Christine Peterson stated that â€Å"A Paper by Fabio Sala mance-Buentello et al. founded that nanotechnology could be applied to attain at least five of the eight United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG).† United Nations Millennium Development Goals are as followed: eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality and empowering women, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating HIV and AIDs, malaria and other diseases, ensuring environmental sustainability, and developing a Global Partnership for development. Photovoltaic cells based on quantum dot technology, nanocrystals for hydrogen creation and the production of hydrogen storage systems based on carbon nanotubes would significantly improve environmentally sustainable development (Heller, Jacob, and Christine Peterson). â€Å"Although hydrogen is an alternative to fossil fuels, it formation, storage and conversion to electricity as facing technological challenges. However, in the use of water as a renewable resource to produce hydrogen, the uses of nanocphoto catalysts have shown promise.,† argued Karunaratne,
