Nanotechnology is defined as one of the most important technologies of the 21st Century. The ability of technology to deliver possibilities far beyond the known borders so far has led the debates to be multi-faceted between hopes and concerns from obscurity. Scientific success stories of mankind that take centuries on any subject now take place in the processes expressed in hours. There are always new revolutionary results that make all of the stories written so far trivial. We have to rethink the words impossible and imagination" and now dreams do not seem so far from being real. With the "nano" phase of technology, the developments that will make a significant impact on every detail of our social life. We expect nanotechnology to be a paradigm shift in technology. As such, by fundamentally changing what is possible on offensive and defensive matters, nanotechnology has the potential to either cause harm or provide strategic advantage to a nation based on its level of readiness. Similarly, with the social media revolution, we have seen a lagged impact on social fabric through the impact of a new technology. We are recently noticing of these changes could be weaponized. Thus, such long term sociological impacts must also be considered.

NANOTEKNOLOJİ, TOPLUM VE MİLLİ GÜVENLİK

Öz

Nanoteknoloji 21. Yüzyılın en önemli teknolojilerinden bir olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bazıları için toplumsal dönüşümde yeni bir çağı simgeleyen bu teknoloji, günümüzde akıllı niteliğiyle birçok ürün ve üretim sürecinde yer almaya başlamıştır. Teknolojinin şimdiye kadar bilinen sınırların çok daha ötesinde olanaklar sunabilmesi ise tartışmaların ümitler ve bilinmezlikten kaynaklanan endişeler arasında çok yönlü ilerlemesine yol açmıştır. İnsanoğlunun herhangi bir konuda asırlar alan bilimsel başarı öyküleri artık saatlerle ifade edilen sürelerde gerçekleşmektedir. Bugüne kadar yazılmış öykülerin tamamını önemsiz kılan ve her an devrim niteliğinde yeni bir sonuçla karşı karşıya kalınmaktadır. İşin doğrusu “imkânsız” ve “hayal” kelimeleri üzerinde yeniden düşünülmek zorundadır. Artık hayaller gerçek olmaktan o kadar da uzak görünmemektedir. Nanoteknoloji ile milimetrik boyutlara ulaşan teknolojik ürünler, sosyo-ekonomik olarak insan yaşamının her alanında sarsıcı etkilere yol açacaktır. Bu nedenle, nanoteknoloji, hücum ve savunma konularında mümkün olanı temelden değiştirerek, ülkenin hazırlık seviyesine bağlı olarak o ülkeye zarar verme veya stratejik avantaj yaratma potansiyeline sahiptir. Aynı zamanda sosyal medya devriminde gördüğümüz üzere bu tip teknolojik değişimlerin de sonradan görülen bir sosyolojik etkisi vardır. Bu etkilerin sosyal medya özelinde nasıl silah haline getirilebileceği yeni yeni görülmeye başlanmıştır. Bu nedenle uzun vadede sosyolojik etkilerin de milli güvenlik açısından değerlendirilmesi gerekir.
