Addiction is a major problem these days, and a rather new kind of addiction has emerged as of late.
Nanotechnology is a field which is growing exponentially. You may have seen a recent HP commercial about nanotechnology and its possible applications: "A lightbulb that will never burn out." "A car that can think." "Shirts that can give you directions." "A tiny computer that can hold every book ever written." "Cellular phones so small, ants can use them." These are certainly interesting ideas in theory, but nanotechnology has some very real applications which could prove to be useful in a more practical sense. Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating materials and creating tools on the atomic scale.
