Molecular Nanotechnology and Literature
Imagine a world where you could have anything you wanted. Gold? Here it is. A new car? Presto. Diamonds? Oh, here, please have some of mine, there's more in the back. Of course, this is not our world at the present, but it might be the world of the future. Molecular nanotechnology will be able to provide whatever one needs or wants, for free or for a minuscule amount of payment. However, it will not only affect commercial and material goods. It will affect medicine, war and weaponry, law enforcement, espionage, entertainment, disposal of waste and garbage, and even literature. Literature will perhaps be affected in a greater way than one may think. But before I get to that, let me explain what, exactly, molecular nanotechnology is.
In l 959, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman put forth an idea. His idea was that anything could be made from the ground up, out of individual atoms or molecules. This is nanotechnology: the working or manipulation of individual atoms or molecules, one at a time, and positioning and lining them up precisely and repeatedly, until enough accumulated to form a large-scale, usable entity. Feynman didn't name it and outline the science, however. This was done by K. Eric Drexler. In the 1970's, when he was a student at MIT, Drexler came up with an idea of nanotechnology, and outlined the possible uses of it. He thought that if one had the ability or technology to work with individual atoms and molecules, then one could make a box that would transform common materials into beef. It sounds strange, but that was the idea. The idea was that you could open the door, toss in some stuff, work the controls, and two hours or so later: out rolls some fresh beef. It sounds odd because we are taught that beef comes from cattle, not from a box of grass clippings and old sneaker insoles. But it really does make sense. Cattle use only a few materials when making beef: grass, air, water, sunlight. When they are digesting that junk, they are merely rearranging the molecules to form characteristic patterns of beef. The only real difference between the methods of beef-production of cows and Drexler's box is that cows make beef using enzymes and liquids, where reactive agents randomly collide, and Drexler's box makes beef mechanically.
Drexler states that the molecules and atoms would have to be manipulated by tiny, tiny robots, commonly referred to as "assemblers.
It’s integral to accommodate culture in making changes. While accompanying Rhinehart trip to see Ethan Brown and his food truck, Widdicombe tried his tacos and described how “the white substance [of Brown’s taco] was remarkably meatlike: it tasted slightly fatty, and the texture resembled muscle fibre,” yet it was 100% plant-based protein. When asked why he went through the trouble to give it such a likeness to meat, “Brown explained that the main challenge with food tech is cultural. “People have been eating meat for two million years,” he said. “They’re hardwired to love meat, and they love the trappings of meat—Thanksgiving, Christmas, ballgames.” The food truck was there to show that plant-based chicken and beef could be part of an all-American life style.”

Sheldon and Willett argue that the mission statement is the most important BIG message a company can create because it is “a succinct, highly charged statement of the company’s direction and purpose that sets the tone for every employee’s activities” (Sheldon 101) Furthermore, BIG writing should be the official la...
Viral marketing is essential for Post-it to increase brand awareness. Furthermore, viral marketing can be the result of the “Go ahead” campaign where people showed creative ways to use Post-it notes. However, Post-it should not aim at creating at the fastest viral videos, since all of the fasters viral videos come from music artists (Statista,
...nessing “the power of nanotechnology” to radically change the way we diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer.” The most likely method implemented will by the use of nanovectors for targeted delivery of anticancer drugs, and then heating nanoparticles that are attached to cancer cells so that the cancer cells explode. (5, 9) There are still many obstacles that must be overcome before this is a reality: from the ethical concern by some that nanobots will take control of the body to the more practical problem that this method of treatment will be very expensive and funding will be an issue. (6) But with millions of people suffering from some form of cancer, scientists are searching for cures and treatments and nanotechnology offers the greatest promise. One day, cancer may be completely curable thanks to nanotechnology which is something everyone would benefit from.
So far, studies have been done to figure out the types of content that goes viral, why consumers choose to share one video and not the next, who the consumers are that are sharing these videos, and the implications of viral ads on consumer behavior, knowledge, and attitude. While there is sti...
Viral marketing is a form of word-of-mouth marketing that aims to result in a message spreading exponentially and campaigns work when a message is spread exponentially and it results in a desired outcome for a brand (Stokes, R., 2010). Viral marketing uses the internet to disclose and spread the company’s products or services. It harnesses the electronic connectivity of individuals to ensure marketing messages are referred from one person to another (Stokes, R., 2010). There are two types of viral marketing. Organic viral campaigns spread with no input from the company who wants to advertise. The message or product/ service being sold by the merchant are passed around in a viral nature without any intention from the marketer (Stokes, R., 2010). In organic viral marketing, no planning was done on how to broadcast the products or services and those who expose the products or services made a choice just to pass it around by word of mouth in the internet. Amplified viral marketing on the other hand have been strategically planned, have defined goals for the brand being marketed, and usually have a distinct method of passing on the message (that can be tracked and quantified by the marketer) (Stokes , R.,2010). To go viral, sellers or services provider have to define the aims of the campaign. Sellers or service providers have to decide if the company wants brand awareness, drive traffic or make sure customers avail of the products or services. Secondly, the company should plan the message it wants to go viral. The message has to be unique and easily noticeable by consumers. Third, the message you want to convey must be passed on to others efficiently. The company has to provide incentives for sharing. The greatest ince...
It used to be the majority advertisements were seen on TV(Arandilla, Rachel). Now it appears the World Wide Web is the most effective (Arandilla, Rachel). Ads appear as pre video ads skippable after a few seconds, banners on the side of the page and at the bottom of the video, and some in the form of YouTube videos (Arandilla, Rachel). According Rachel Arandilla’s Youtube and the Impact of Viral Marketing she says, “Its main objective is to increase brand awareness through replicating a viral like process, like the spread of virus in computers. Often, viral videos are spread through sharing by viewers, kinda like word of mouth. Viral marketing often comes in the form of videos. The main goal is to create infectious, viral messages that appeal to their target market with high SNP (social networking potential) that can easily spread through individuals.” According to Rachel Arandilla the first truly viral video was Numa Numa a video of Gary ...
The main purpose of green nanotechnology has been to develop clean technologies that would minimize potential human and environmental health risk. Also, to encourage replacement of existing products with the clean technologies that is more environmentally friendly. There are many benefits of using green nanotechnologies as the new solution for energy in both their current availability and their current development. Over the new few decades, the highest growth opportunities will come from application of nanomaterials for making better use of existing resources. Nanotechnologies will help reduce weight of carbon emission in transportation utilizing nanocomposite materials that quickly diffuses across the automotive and aerospace industries. Applications of nanotechnologies will result in a global annual savings of 8000 tons of carbon dioxide, which will rise even further to over millions tons by 2020. But, let’s focus on the positive effects of Green Nanotechnology in Solar.
...content naturally by visiting your page or seeing your post. Viral is a step beyond organic where people share your content by reposting, re-blogging, retweeting etc. about it. Viral will then track the users who view the content by viewing the reposted content. Paid reach has become more popular recently with changes to social media sites that lessen the amount of organic reach a page gets. Because fewer users are seeing posts naturally, page owners must pay for posts to be promoted or featured to essentially regain or increase their reach beyond what they have. Reach and engagement can easily be tracked through Facebook although other social media sites do not offer these statistics. Although these statistics are not built in to other sites, studies and industry reports have shown that the results are similar with the most correlation between Facebook and Twitter.
...esity is becoming an epidemic, nanotechnology could be used to create foods which are low in fat, salt and sugar but are still nutritionally dense and taste great. Food is naturally nanostructured material – simply boiling an egg causes many changes; the proteins in the egg white change shape and tangle together to form a solid. We now have the opportunity to study what exactly happens in these nanoscale changes. Nanotechnology gives us many ways to ensure our food is safe and waste is cut down. However, there are many concerns that this form of processing is another way to put more power into the hands of large food companies- yet food has never been safer than it is today largely due to the strict hygiene and sanitation practices these companies follow. As the population continues to grow – so too will the importance of new food technologies like nanotechnology.
Nowadays there are over 60 ecotourism centers where communities seek to gather money by using natural heritage. The money they get from ecotourism is reinvested in the communities, environment, culture and local needs. These projects have been successful in their environmental purposes. Before this projects started forests were being depleted and wildlife was being a threat and now there lots of efforts to protect the environment. It is prohibited to hunt animals and cut trees; this has lead to the
...herefore found pleasure and contentment within each other because of the pain that they both shared. Therefore this proves that in a country such as India, where social status and prosperity are crucial, it is evident that love takes preference over all, despite the norms of India, love will always be a priority. Therefore we see that not only did Ammu and Velutha break the ‘Love Laws’ , but so did Estha and Rahel break the ‘Love Laws’ when sleeping with each other.
Ecotourism is commonly viewed as an excellent education platform to learn more about taking up initiative and responsibility to conserve the natural environment. It strongly engages in education about cultures and environment which how ideally one should contribute in some ways to preserve that culture and its natural surroundings. Visiting these remote destinations, whether inhabited or uninhabited, are usually under the protection of governments, conservation or scientific organisations, or private business owners (Kimberly, 2016). Ecotourism is usually also known as one of the sustainable tourism. However, if it is poorly planned and implemented, ecotourism could be viewed the same as mass tourism, which brings disturbance to the nature.
Ecotourism represents “green tourism”: a pioneering idea that has inspired innovative actions and technologies, which are hopefully paving the way for a more sustainable future for the entire tourism industry. Additionally, ecotourism is the response to the demands of an increasingly environmentally aware international community. Ecotourism is undoubtedly a flourishing industry and is exemplar of ecologically sustainable development. Ecotourism has what it takes to lead not only the tourism industry, but also governments and communities in its quest for sustainable development.
