As the human race progresses (if you want to call it that) with technology there is always someone who wants to create a new way to obtain, record, analyze, and use this info for the purpose of monitoring the population. A researcher named Kris Pister had a thought about being able to create what some call a type of nerve center for the planet. It’s called “smart dust”. This is a device about the size of a grain of rice that can record real time info and transmit the information back to a central location for the purpose of analyzing the data. If this were to be only used for good, honest reasons it still would not justify deploying this material around the planet. You would need hundreds of millions of these devices to obtain enough information to be useful enough for justifying their deployment. Each unit will contain a power source (battery) and the ability to transmit data. So now you are walking around and stepping on hundreds or thousands of them and how long before these devices begin to break apart or find their way into our water systems and pollute the environment. What we don’t need is more sensors placed around the planet for research purposes. What we need is rationally thinking people whose ideas that aren’t motivated by greed or the lure of power. Since this device is currently being developed one must consider what the military industrial complex will want to use the “smart dust” for and on the flipside of this coin what will the intelligence community use this device for?

I know most of you have seen the Terminator movies and probably thought we would never get to that level of technology. We now are only a few short years from being able to literally program matter to whatever object we desire. An example would be having a cell phone that is able to literally become a head set or a bracelet depending on what you want and the programming that’s available for your phone. Sounds completely crazy right? Soon it won’t be. Seth Goldstein is an associate professor at Carnegie melon University who works with the U.S. Air force at Intel on this very subject. As I understand it this is also part of the research done on ” Nano technology ” Nano technology employs millions of microscopic robots to perform tasks such as cleaning clogged up arteries, brain surgery or just about anything you could program into the robots.

Being a seasoned veteran of the top 3 cell phone companies, I thought I would share my thoughts on them. All three have pretty much the same features and similar price ranges. The thing that sets the three apart, in my eyes, is customer service. I’ll start with my least favorite, and go on up from there… Read More.....
Being a recent victim of a computer virus, I sat down the other day and started thinking… just how do you protect yourself online? And why do people feel the need to create these viruses in the first place? After all, most people that get the viruses on their computer don’t even know the person that created the stupid thing. Here are some suggestions that I came up with: Read More.....
