KQED has a great, brief overview video on Nanotechnology and its promises. “Nanotechnology” is a very loaded, over-hyped term which becomes almost useless in discussions without some larger context.
I like to think of Nanotechnology in two broad areas:

• Creating new material properties from modifying the atomic structure existing properties.
• Building new “machines” from the ground up based on engineering at the nanoscale level.

KQED does a nice job of explaining both while giving a general introduction on the topic.
