I was playing Facade last night. For those who don't know, it's a game where you interact with a couple who are arguing. The AI is such that it will interpret and respond to almost anything you say. My character is the one named Adam. Exerpts follow:

Not to break your lovely parade of the old meme of motivational posters, but...

Scientists create world's smallest home entertainment system.
http://www.physics.bc.edu/Deptsite/news/antenna.shtml
http://www.sci-tech-today.com/story....d=013001CTBVG8 Ok well not exactly they still haven't figured the TV bit out yet but they got the antenna and coaxial cable down to size. This from the guys that also brought you the material that as far as they can tell absorbs absolutely every photon of a certain frequency that hits it turning them into heat and the addition of semiconductors to their terahertz range materials allowing them to be slightly tunable. The basic gist of all this is that they will probably eventually have a hyper efficient solar cell. That and a method of replacing fiber optic cables with cables that are 10 times thinner while carrying 100 times the amount of data. Alternatively they could be 100 times thinner while carrying 10 times the amount of data. Basically optical processing just took a giant leap forward. For example, these wires would be very useful in keeping down the size and bulk of quantum computers while also having the ability to transmit low power optical signals without the attenuation you get with standard optical fiber. Plus the whole process of getting the signal into the wire via the antennas seems to be a whole lot more straight forward then coupling an LED to an optical fiber. |
