Nanotechnology: Perspective for future and nanorisks

Abstract

The technogenic type of development tends to standardize public life to a much greater extent than the traditionalist one. Science, education, technological progress and an expanding market generate a new way of thinking and a new lifestyle while transforming the traditional cultures. A radical change of values means a transition from the technogenic civilization to a new type of civilizational development, a third type in relation to both its traditionalist and technogenic predecessors. Nanoscience and nano-technology accumulate all changes in the modern science and technology. In this case we can not describe of nanosystems as a pure analogy with the mechanical systems. There are hybrid nanobiomachines. Nanotechnology is considered today as the beginning of the nanotechnological revolution and the future technological means fort the survival of the mankind. But these expectations are darkened from reasonable assumptions of the unforeseen assumptions negative consequences and risks from the implementation of these new technologies. © 2009 Springer Netherlands.
