12. TOPTOMATOES: are new plants produced via genetic engineering. They take twice longer to ripen than ordinary tomatoes. As a result, they stay fresh longer even on journeys around the world. 13. PHARMACOWLOGY: is the use of cows to manufacture medicine. Researchers in Britain have shown that cows given foreign genes can manufacture pharmaceuticals in their milk. When cow drug "pharms" are working full force, they may soon eliminate the need for expensive drug factories. What's more, the genetically engineered cows will produce themselves with each new generation. 14.NANOTECHNOLOGY: is a new kind of technology produced by the Japanese. It refers to machines whose parts are smaller than the size of molecules and almost invisible to the naked eye. With these, scientist will eventually create very fast computers or tiny machines that can enter the body and deliver drugs or perform precise surgical operations.
