Q8

The first thing that comes to mind when defining “nano technology” is the Ipod Nano from Apple.
You can pretty much do anything on this little piece of technology, and because of that, I think nano tech refers to a small, but certainly ground breaking way of creating new devices with very "little" material. After reading about it at encyclopedia.com, I found out that it is in fact tiny, but very amazing technology. The concept is built on molecular manipulation abilities; atoms large enough so that they can be placed in layers creating machines and computers in so called nano-scale.
