Yesterday I discovered the specific nanotechnological materials can severely damage human tissue. The is because they are so small and can easily penetrate our vital organs (such as live, heart brain).The tests have also shown that they can cause DNA mutation, which can be very harmful. That is why is has been trialled as a bacteria killer. The trial has shown that it is quite affective as a bacteria killer. I found this trial quite interesting.

To the library
Yesterday I went to the library to attempt to find useful information about nanotechnology, because it is a very new branch of science so there wasn't going to be much if not any books on the subject so I had to rely on magazines. Unfortunately I didn't manage to find any information about this nanotechnology.

Research
We have begun our research for our topic which is about Nanotechnology. We have begun finding an answer for our main question: How is Nanotechnology part of our future? But before we do that we must all start to find some meaning for our sub questions assigned to each one of us group members. Which are : How is nanotechnology applied to non-living organisms?, How does nanotechnology benefit humans? and What will humans achieve with nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology and its uses
We have started studying not only the surface of nanotechnology but its deeper uses ,why and how it could be used. Nanotechnology is not only about the matter being modified down to its molecular level but how it can be implemented into our modern lives.
Wikipedia defines it as: Nanotechnology refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the molecular level in scales smaller than 1 micrometre, normally 1 to 100 nanometers, and the fabrication of devices within that size range. from:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology can be used to change the behaviour of particular molecules, making new medicines, this is an exciting area of science and I feel it has yet to show itself to the greater community.

Blog Writing
This first period we learnt about expressing ourselves better and being more clear in our blogs. The session lasted for (about) 40 minutes. We learnet what to put in one and how.
Overall I learnt a lot about how to use a blog properly and why it is used in the first place

Learning how to create more meaningful blogs
Today we had a 20 minute session with Mrs Govender, in which we learnt how to create more meaningful blogs. Sadly, the 20minute session dragged onto 40minutes because we were having so much fun, and we hadn't noticed the time.
This session taught us to use more emotive language and to express our opinions more widely,

Gattaca?
Today I thought we were going to watch the movie Gattaca. But it turns out otherwise. Instead we were making decisions about which metaphor we like best about our future.
