Description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Wild Card (approx. 150 words)
Nervousness of a nanotechnology accident (and the added impact on worried insurance companies) causes an increase in global legislation and a downturn in scientific progress until technology is not considered feasibile

Keywords

legislation, research stops

Mini-description

(max. 250 characters)

Nervousness of a nanotechnology accident (and the added impact on worried insurance companies) causes an increase in global legislation and a downturn in scientific progress until technology is not considered feasibile

Likelihood

Closest timeframe for at least 50% likelihood
Please use one of the following options:
now-2050

Features of life if the wild card manifests

Feature 1: business models and industrial environment
Research no longer feasible - no more new products, massive reduction in the size of technology markets
Feature 2: education and research environment
Less scientific research taught, as there are far less potential jobs
