Big Bioethical Implications of Globalisation Delphi Questionnaire GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION CLICK ON  EACH STATEMENT IN ORDER TO EVALUATE IT C1 Local-to-global Internet access and universal wireless connectivity will become a reality. C2 Discoveries in nanotechnology will lead to unprecedented understanding and control over the fundamental building blocks of all physical things. Self-assembled nanomaterials will enable rapid processing for drug discovery, blood content analysis, genetic analysis, and other biological applications. C3 Biomedical engineering, exploiting advances in biotechnology and "smart" materials, will produce new surgical procedures and systems, including better organic and artificial replacement parts for human beings, and the use of unspecialized human cells (stem cells) to augment or replace brain or body functions and structures. C4 Genetic modification-despite continuing technological and cultural barriers-will improve the engineering of organisms to increase food production and quality. Despite cultural and political concerns, the use of genetically modified crops will be widely accepted. C5 The integration/convergence of information technology, biotechnology, materials sciences, and nanotechnology will generate a dramatic increase in innovation, till the birth of a totally new disciplinary and technological field. The effects will be profound on research, business, commerce, public health, and security.
