"Once we could write tiny numbers as fractions and as decimal fractions, a whole new world was opened to us."
As we advance to the future, nanotechnology's role in society will grow. With the whole "Smaller yet better" market increasing, nanotechnology is the solution for this demand. The reading mentions how transistors are getting smaller, and are making microchips process data faster. From vacuum tubes resulting in huge computers to transistors resulting in small microprocessors, we have came a long way in a short amount of time. If this keeps up who knows what can be done with nanotechnology. Maybe it can be integrated with the ideas of genetic engineering, or create mechanical solutions to problems surrounding the human body.
