Future Impact of Robotics
TED recently had a post on an interview with P.W. Singer on the future of war and the use of robotics. It’s very interesting to think about science fiction and the ripple effects of the current progress of technology. We as modern human beings are still not ready to accept the use of intelligent robotics or know that they’re in everything we’re using. Check out the article for more information.
Mobile Data in EVERYTHING

From the CTIA Wireless Conference, their theme was to add mobile data capacity to absolutely everything. This includes the human body. The more I hear about this stuff, the more of our shared nerd fantasy is coming true. The world is colliding together at a superfast pace. When Edward Lorenz theorized about the effect of butterfly’s flap of its wings on weather patterns, he probably didn’t know that it exactly the same with today’s progressing technology. It’s amazing how one person could in effect do something so simple like post a short message in a remote location with a cell phone and affect the whole world in an instant. Data and pushing boundaries of our understanding of the world is the future, we will be one giant hive-mind progressing towards new frontiers of thinking. Crazy.
