Nano-Technology - The Paradigm Breaker

When the internet was taking its baby steps, people would have never thought that once day having an office without internet is going to be impossible. Today, living without internet would be the equivalent of trying to do business without an office in the 1980's.

Internet has changed the way business is done and the way many think about business. It has also given ubiquitous, a new meaning altogether. In effect, the world is no longer the same, because internet has been able to pervade every aspect of our lives. In a similar manner, the next thing that is going to change the paradigms that we live in is; Nano-Technology.



The above video is but, one of the applications of nano-technology, and I am sure that you would find it very impressive. Imagine tomorrow's world, where every thing that is around you is able to communicate with you. The wall of your house is a fluid display and also an input device through which you can track each and every thing in the house. When the shoe rack can know which shoe of yours required polishing and your wardrobe knows when your clothes need to go for washing. Imagine the boundless possibilities once such technology pervades our lives just the way internet has.

Now, imagine what this does to the way we do business and industries?

If clothing can be made with nano-technology... and if the cloth could take any shape and form that I desire for it to, I would just need one set which can take the shape that suites the situation, the environment and the need. It can take its bath as I take mine. What will happen to the clothing manufacturers and retailers. This is certainly going to be the next game changer.

It is going to cause the next paradigm shift, watch out for it!
