nanoknw1true-false: nanotechnology manipulate extremely small units
Text of this Question or Item 
1082. Here are a couple of true-false questions about 
nanotechnology. As before, if you don't know or aren't sure, 
just tell me so, and we will skip to the next question. Remember 
true, false, or don't know. a. Nanotechnology involves 
manipulating extremely small units of matter, such as individual 
atoms, in order to produce better materials. (Is that true or 
false?)

nanowillbenefit of nanotechnology outweigh harmful results
Text of this Question or Item 
1083. Nanotechnology works at the molecular level atom by atom 
to build new structures, materials, and machines. People have 
frequently noted that new technologies have produced both 
benefits and harmful results. Do you think the benefits of 
nanotechnology will outweigh the harmful results or the harmful 
results will outweigh the benefits?

intintlinterested in international issues
Text of this Question or Item 
There are a lot of issues in the news, and it is hard to keep up with 
every area.  I�m going to read you a short list of issues, and for 
each one -- as I read it -- I would like you to tell me if you are 
very interested, moderately interested, or not 
International and foreign policy issues.  Are you very interested, 
moderately interested, or not at all interested?
