M any things in our world are getting smaller. Computers and cell
phones are good examples. Both are getting smaller each
year. But now some things are getting really tiny. Scientists can
now make new machines with nanotechnology. Because nano
machines are so small, you can’t see them.
Right now, scientists can only make very simple machines with
nanotechnology. In the future, they will probably make more useful
machines. Scientists hope they can make tiny robots with nanotechnology.
These tiny robots could work inside our bodies. They could fix problems in
our bodies without surgery. Also, nano robots will probably do many of our
dangerous and unpleasant jobs.
English Usage
• get(= become) + adjective
It was getting dark.
I hope you will get better soon.
