Introduction:
Internet, a global network, which connects people from one part
of the world to another in a nanosecond. In 1960’s, the internet

6. was invented for the communications between scientist and
military but now it is used by millions of people. Along with it,
many pros and cons came along. However, people use it more as
an advantage to invent new things and become successful to
take the world where it is now. Nanotechnology innovation is
the mixture of extreme developed technology and a
responsibility towards its making. Around two decades ago
nanotechnology began to reach its’ peak enlightening the
development of industrial sectors, technologies, environment,
medical sector, food, water and so on. It is one of the immense
fields where there are tremendous research-based project going
on to make the field even better.
The growing development in nanotechnology in the medicinal
field made it easier for the health workers to diagnose and
provide the right treatment fit for the patients. Alongside, the
development of nanotechnology was started to make the day-to-
day life easier for the public including their safety and
environmental conservation. The development of
nanotechnology brings ethical, legal and social issues with it.
Responsible Innovation:
Development of nanotechnology has immense impacts in the
world. Its progress has gone beyond any imagination and vast
compared to its previous development. A huge responsibility to
save the world in scarcity maybe one of its fundamental goal.
Thus, nanotechnology has made a great change in the
relationship between science, technology, and the mankind. In
the field of telecommunication and making it a great revolution
with communication technologies, nanotechnology plays a very
crucial role. Nanotechnology has impacted this industry in
numerous ways and contributed as an innovation of software,
applications, and other different mediums. With the research on
nanotechnology, it is believed that nanotechnology will be able
to locate, analyze and solve the problems to make our lives to
function more conveniently. The responsible development of
nanotechnology to benefit the society, environment always

7. requires the involvement of public, their knowledge and
acceptance towards the uprising innovation.
Wireless technology
The use of wireless technology is increasing drastically and the
utilization of nanotechnology in these wireless devices and
programs are high performance, lower power consumption,
compact sizes and advanced features. These technology makes a
great enhancement in the social life including both home and
office. Maximum usage of nanotechnology in these wireless
devices work in improving the surrounding as they could use as
sensors to measure things prior to what is going to happen, for
example, earthquake detector, smoke detector, motion sensors
and many more, The modern devices use high frequencies, high
data with effectiveness which requires nanotechnology to
function in an efficient way.
Nano communication and networks
As we know, nanotechnology takes a big place in nano
communication and networks. The increasing use of the mobile
led to the development of 5G wireless communication (which
uses nano antennas) to enhance the network coverage and the
wireless communication more efficiently. The correspondence
between Nanomachines occurs as in the customary
correspondence that implies the frameworks need to send a
message over a transporter to the collector and the data
conveyed ought to be encoded on the transmitter side and
decoded in the beneficiary. With the use of MIMO technology,
the components were able to be reduced to nano-size.
Problem of communication of nanotechnology to the public:
Nanotechnology started to reach it’s peak almost around 2000s’
and was recognized as the responsible development establishing
the Nanotechnology Innovation (NNI) done with the potential of
giving the outcome of a change in the society for good to make
the lives of the public easier. Even with the responsible
development of nanotechnology with the uprising developments,

8. scientists still feared of facing the failure in terms of public
acceptance. Public approach towards nanotechnology is
controlled by various factors such as media, ability to process
the change in the environment, cultural bias and so on.
Religious beliefs play a crucial role to provide a negative
impact to support nanotechnology. Another exposure to the
problem is the risks involved and impact of nanotechnology
towards the community. This factor changes the attitude of
public regarding the information which leads to provide
unstability to the innovation. Communication between
technology and public is very delicate matter.
Major solutions for the communication of nanotechnology to the
public:
Media management
The media plays an important role to influence the public about
the occasion of nanotechnology. In today’s world, media is
considered as huge influencer in changing people’s attitude
towards certain things. According to the research, public
judgement is based on the information provided by the media
and how it is represented. The media can increase awareness
among public to inform about the studies and ongoing research
on specific topic and how it can benefit the public. The
campaigns including the mass media can be a huge influence in
the public providing science programs on broadcasting
channels.
Strengthening policy and regulation
The examination of nanotechnology on the safety of the
products should be legally approved. The implication of
nanotechnology should be safe for the public use. Due to the
ongoing controversies on nanotechnology, the federal laws and
policies regarding the research should be implied more on use
allowing the public to know about the policies and regulations
which will reduce the exploitation and the risks related to the
problems. The support and knowledge of nanotechnology plays
a vital role in strengthening the regulations. Government must
ensure about the policies and guidelines to be effective for the

9. involvement of public.
Increase clarity and consistency in communication.
The nanotechnology should be socially accepted by the public
through the communication between consumers and the
scientists. The public should be aware about the steps involved
in the development and the drawbacks in the technolo gy. This
will help the public to understand more about the use and
misuse of it. According to the research done in many countries,
public still lacks the knowledge of nanotechnology and its
principles. Public participation is very important to understand
the information and value of the technology. There still lies the
conflict towards the risk involving nanotechnology raising the
question of sustainability. To provide clarity and consistency in
communication, the scientific terms should be defined and
clearly explained to general public which provides them more
understanding of what they’re dealing with and what does it do.
Conclusion
Nanotechnology can add a greater number of correspondence
methods that can't be anticipated at present and may exceed
proportion creative mind since this innovation in the principal
period of examination, especially in the field of media
communications designing exploration. Nanotechnology has
become advanced since its origin in industrial, medical, food,
transportation and many more sectors. New nanotechnologies
are being developed which have an increasing impact on our
daily lives which modify our life for the better. The usage of
distant correspondence is rapidly growing and quickly
expanding. It has introduced very crucial platform for
communication and substantially impact its operation to meet
the highest expectations of the people. Like everything, nano
technologies also have cons and effects on the environment as
well as the health of the people. But with the communicati on
between the developers and public, the development will be
faster and in a safer way.
