the buzz, social impact of nanotechnology – nanowiki #4

Even if scientists often ignore it,
The truth is that the world does not change only because of the introduction of a new technology.
Technology permeates social networks,
so the applications which develop,
are a mixture of both social and technical forces.
If society welcomes a given technology and finds uses for it, this technology shall survive.
When social acceptance does not take place, the new technology dies, no matter how good It may be;
The key to prevent the promises of a better world from dying into oblivion is to enable society to have access to the information.
