As if there isn’t enough to worry about, eWeek Emerging Technologies regales us with their list of the 10 most dangerous new technologies:

1. Nanotech
2. RFID
3. Artificial Intelligence
4. Mobile payment
5. Digital Identities
6. Web OS
7. GPS
8. Networked-Computerized Cars
9. Anonymity Tools
10. Cybernetic Implants

Nanotech is on the list and apparently the most dangerous because it could be used “to create diseases and destroy the environment”. While no further informastion is provided by the eWeek article, nanotech seems to be deemed dangerous largely because of the unknowns associated with the use of e.g. nano-scale titanium dioxide in food.
