Nanotech Age

The Nanotech Age is an age in the future covered in most forms of fiction. According to Raymond Kurzweil, the Nanotech Age is expected to begin in the range from 2025 to 2050 bringing an end to the current Information Age which started in the year 1990. This age would emphasize transhumanism in addition to rapid technological development in all research fields. Using present-day logic, the situation would reveal itself as the rich receiving nanotechnology services before everyone else - this is the attitude of the status quo. Prices would eventually go down rather than up as in the case of all electronic equipment because nanotechnology is more along the lines of electronic equipment than of natural gas or petroleum gasoline. If desired, no fossil fuels would ever have to be used with the technologies that come of nanotechnology and the Nanotech Age in particular.
