today nanotechnology is
a symbolic universe because although it seem possible it has not
reached it full promised potential. Nanotechnologies promise, that
product will become cheaper, stronger longer lasting and evening
using less material. To make this promised future even more beautiful
it also promises anti aging so people can live longer or maybe
forever.
The social impacts will
almost impossible to fore see because millions of people will be out
of jobs, the current economic scheme will definitely fall over
because no one will have the money to circulate the economy because
of no consumers.
If nanotechnologies
actually creates all these objects at these promised prices which are
almost free “It may be only
a matter of time until the building of products becomes as cheap as
the copying of files.” humans would almost be at an
utopian state.
The main concern will
be fair distribution of resources (products).
Because in the past
people used money to exchange their goods and services, via markets
which will no longer be in place because of no economy. Designers
will have to create a system where resources are moved freely and the
media must mediate the transition from this capitalism this
evolution, the Heineken advert in the rugby world cup (2011).
