LO2: Understand the impact of emerging technologies on society Perform an analysis of your selected emerging technology and its social implications. You can use any model/tool to guide your analysis such as SWOT analysis, etc. SELECT ED E M E R GIN G TE CHNOLO GY : “NANOTECHNOLOGY” The understanding and control of matter at dimensions betw een approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, w here unique phenomenon enable nov el applications. “ For MOD EL F O R G UIDANCE : “SWOT A NA LYSIS” ( A lt er nativ el y S W O T M atri x) the purposes of this anal ysis , SWOT method has been adapted. This anal ysis prov ides identification for the internal and external factors, fav ourable or unfav ourable, to achiev e the objectiv es. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats . The next step is hav ing a Nano-Sustainability Check . It prov ides an integrated approach rel ativ e to sust ainability aspects of nanotechnological applications. The approach chosen al l ows the Nano-Sustainabil ity check to serv e as a strategic radar system for the opportunities and threats, in order to be abl e to anticipate beneficial effects for the env ironment and to identify new markets on one side, and to striv e to av oid bad inv estments and dangers to society on the other side. ” 29
