Most are probably too young to remember but nanotechnology was supposed to be the most super amazing thing ever.
You're viewing a single thread.
It became normal and normal is boring.
Booo, get out of there with reasonable and grounded explanations!
I mean, most of the magical uses haven't materialised. Computers are better, that's about it. It has a few other commercial applications, but they're indistinguishable from normal chemistry from a laymen's perspective.
That highly depends on what you mean by “nanotechnology”. There are tons of advancements in medicine that use what most people would consider to be nanotechnology. As well as material science, robotics, energy production and storage, and telecommunications, to name a few.
Any that a laymen could tell from new chemistry? The bit after the comma was load-bearing there.
I mean how uninformed of a layman are we talking about? Do they know the difference between a molecule and a micelle?
Honestly I had to look that up, because while I know the concept the term was only vaguely familiar. I would say I know more about this stuff than 99% of people. Relevant XKCD
