Nanotechnology expected to grow to $3.1 trillion by 2015

I believe one of the biggest and most profitable industries over the next few decades will be those incorporating nanotechnologies. Hopefully my country will get in on the leading edge with this. I believe a lot of the traditional manufacturing jobs are going to continue to be done elsewhere and if America is going to continue to be a world economic leader we have to look to these new opportunities such as nanotechnology, genetic engineering, clean and renewable energy, etc.
