摘要: Nanotechnologies are commonly touted as instruments to be exploited for the benefit of developed, well developing countries, and especially alleviating problems poor. Defenders nanotechnology argue that it is possible learn from experience, avoiding errors made with past technologies. Precaution, however, should not slow down innovation, which key factor in solving many Clearly focus on finding a solution poor just mechanical consequence. But necessary, nor true, faster technological path, narrower gap between rich Indeed, judging opposite has usually been shown case. We put forward argument nanotechnologies, like any other type technology, cannot separated socio-economic political context they generated, commercialized utilized. Considering current context, highly likely revolution will help widen world.
