Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter sized in nanometers that can be prevalent in everything we see and do. Being used for medicine and every day products this is something that we don't ever think about but is impacting the world. Since Nanometers are one-billionth of a meter, a hundred-thousandth the width of a human hair, this is a new element that we could use to create better products both in the medical field and out. Nanotechnology is so new that no one is really sure what is to come of it. Researchers believe from the ability to reproduce things like diamonds and food, nanotechnology also has the ability to change ones self into a functioning robot. The effects of nanotechnology are unknown because Scientists still don't know enough about what it can do and how it could affect us. This is why it has become a goal to a research it as much as possible to fully grasp the concept. 
Some of the easier understood forms of nanotechnology lies within the sports world as they are used in tennis balls, golf balls, tennis rackets. These products use nanostructure in their building materials to give them enhanced and better performance. For example, nanotechnology could make a golf ball fly farther and straighter. Giving our world something new to focus on to further improve our lively hood.
