CSC 205
Final Project Presentation

Transcript

1. ETHICS OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
2. HELLO! We are... Anisha Carter | FVCproductions Courtney Hayslett | Lawrence Rachal
3. Where are some nano-products? @Lawrence
4. Goal Inform of ethical issues involved in the application and implementation of nanotechnology
5. 2. Application & Implementation @fvcproductions
6. FOCUS AREAS ▸ Materials ▹ material with particles of nano-scale dimensions ▸ Electronics ▹ industrial applications, e.g. foods, consumer goods, military and aerospace machinery, construction ▸ Bio-tech ▹ engineering of human body on cellular level
7. NANO MATERIALS FOUND IN NATURE
8. NANO ELECTRONICS FOR THE FUTURE
9. NANO BIO-TECH TO HELP PEOPLE
10. 3. Case Study @Anisha
11. Utopian Dreams Considers only the positive outcome of implementing and applying technology
12. Apocalyptic Nightmare Considers only the negative outcome of implementing and applying technology
13. Utopian (Reality) used in cooking utensils, clothing, laundry detergent, toothpaste and more, specifically spray disinfectant. helps eliminate bacteria and its associated odors EPA vs Nanosilver (nano-Ag) in Disinfectant Spray Dystopian (Research) can have toxic effects on the human body potential to bioaccumulation and/or bioconcentration nano-Ag can be anywhere and everywhere from manufacturers to households
14. 5. Discussion & Conclusion @Courtney
15. 3.3 trillion amount of $$$ government will put into nano-tech by 2018 FUTURE OUTLOOK
16. Nanotechnology covers a lot of domains today and will cover a lot more in the near future, it is infinitely unbound and will inspire a mass of aspiring innovators. Materials, Electronics & Biotechnology
