It’s truth the new generation is used to this kind of technology. I think that if now, in the present we used computers for hospitals, crime detection, etc; in the future every children in every school of the country, will have a computer for their own. May be in a few years the technology will have an improve and computers became obsolete, the same with mobiles.
I think this is a very good thing because, for example today many children don’t have many resources to look for information. In the future I think that this might improve a lot.  May be for some children, this is the last thing that matters, some of them will prefer to play, chat or see videos instated of looking something for school. This could be a problem for the children but is something that they do to their self, they can chose if they want to use the computers for some fun, or use for something that they might use for the school, to get a good grade. The problem nowadays in the aspect of children, and the way they learn is that many of them want to study, but they can’t, of course are children that don’t care he study. I think in the future all the people would have the tools to choose whether use the opportunity or not. It could be something good or bad, it depends of the way you use it, and the thing, that the person wants to do with it.

Nanotechnology

Definition:
Is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally, nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometre in at least one dimension, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. Quantum mechanical effects are very important at this scale, which is in the quantum realm.
What is it use for?
Nanotechnology controls matter on an atomic level, modifying its effects to achieve desired results. Its uses are therefore extremely numerous.
Any substance in existence can be broken into molecules and tampered with in order to give it different properties and abilities.
The universality of nanotechnology means that it is being applied to almost every facet of modern life. Miraculous effects can be achieved by engineering nanoparticles; for example, researchers have already developed wool and silk that can clean themselves because their altered particles “eat” stains.
Self-cleaning household products are also being developed. The time is not far distant when you’ll be able to spray a nano-chemical onto the grime in your kitchen and watch it disappear and practically never come back, since many nano-chemicals also prevent grime from accumulating

Love the way you lie
