Wheel's of progress...

There have been some really cool developments of the last week or two.
Wireless power is now finally within the grasp of researchers: http://www.gearlog.com/2007/06/mit_scientists_demonstrate_adv.php#more

PC manafacturers have managed to squeeze a fuly featured PC Motherboard on to
a credit card form: http://press-releases.techwhack.com/10388/visiting-card-size-motherboard/

Scientists have managed to store digital data within neurons:

Not forgetting that awesome touch interface from my last blog, And I'm sure I've just scratched the surface there, whenever I have weeks like this; I always get crazy ideas floating around in my head.

Just imagine having your PC with you all the time. I'm not talking a mobile
phone with more features than a veritible swiss army knife. But your entire
PC keyboard/touch screen printed on a flexible sleeve of you jacket: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_electronics

Better still high-fidelity video is fed to you via a headset: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality

Then better still with the ever increasing roll-out of wifi-hotspots, you'd
be online all the time.http://www.thecloud.net/

Taking this a step further and with wireless power floating around you'd
never have to stop anywhere to charge the device! The lifestyle that this
technology implies is incredible; almost to the point of real cyborgs.

My only hope know is that some interface can be created for a viable power
source that can use ATP as it's input: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate

The implications of that would be huge, not just for powering your gadgets;
but just imagine if it could work the other way? Would people have to eat? or
could they just recharge on the way? Wow, now that's some serious food for
thought.

crash, out...
