Why not use the technology we have?

Hey guys, today I was sitting my kitchen having a cigarette and I thought about Japan's recent events and all other serious problems we have at the moment. Then I thought of technology, how advanced we are today, so if we're so advanced how come we still have problems? For example I thought of Nanobots, why couldn't they use them to remove cancer tumors? I've also heard that there's a "Laser" that was originally designed & developed by NASA to clean satellite mirrors with great precision. It shoots a single electron. And there's even a Hospital in US that has adapted this piece of technology to remove cancer tumors, etc. The technology might cost a lot to maintain & run, but isn't it worth it if it saves lifes? I think technology should be used if it makes a difference to people's lifes, what do you guys think?

Friend this type of technology is so costly other than US so the people cannot bear the cost of such technology and really if cancer tumor is cured then it is good. But Indian people cannot pay the money for this new technology because a lot of people is poor in India. But they should know and accept this new technology like computer or others.

I understand that but I think they should make it affordable, they have with everything esle (computers, cars, etc). They should market these technologies at an affordable cost for hospitals and wherever necessary.
