Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter at the nanoscale (1-100 nanometers). It is an emerging field that could revolutionize many industries like medicine, materials science, and manufacturing. Some potential applications include targeted drug delivery for cancer treatment, stronger and lighter materials, pollution cleanup, and universal immunity. However, there are also concerns about how nanotechnology could be misused if it falls into the wrong hands. Overall, nanotechnology is expected to significantly impact our lives in the future as the technology advances.

3.  “Nanotechnology is the art an science of
manipulating matter at the nanoscale”.
 1 nanometer (10-9m)-one millionth of a
millimeter, one billionth of a meter.
 It is the key technology of the 21 st century.
 Nano particles- materials that have size in nm at
least in one dimensions.

4.  The first ever concept was
presented in 1959 by the famous
professor of physics Dr. Richard
P.Feynman.
 Invention of the scanning
tunneling microscope in 1981 and
the discovery of fullerene(C60) in
1985 lead to the emergence
of nanotechnology.
 The term “Nano-technology" had
been coined by Norio Taniguchi in
1974

15. THE FUTURE
IS
COMING…

17. Information technology (IT) is
the application
of computers and telecommunic
ations equipment to store,
retrieve, transmit and
manipulate data, often in the
context of a business or other
enterprise.

 Agricultural Age: The period up to the
1800s, when the majority of workers
were farmers whose lives revolved
around agriculture.
 Industrial Age: The period from the
1800s to 1957, when work processes
were simplified through
mechanization and automation.

 Information Age: The period that
began in 1957, in which the majority
of workers are involved in the creation,
distribution, and application of
information.
 Knowledge Workers: Workers
involved in the creation, distribution,
and application of information.
