When we think of computer networks, we think of routers and servers and fiber optic cables and laptops and smartphones — we think of the internet. In actuality, though, the visible internet is just the tip of the iceberg. There are secret military networks, and ad hoc wireless networks, and utility companies have sprawling, cellular networks the track

Robots are widely used now, and they’re only spread even farther into daily life. The sci-fi future may be closer than you think.

Opinion from DSC:
Technologies — by themselves — are neither good nor bad. It’s what we do with them that makes them good or bad. The concerns I have are when people try to play God. His ways are higher than our ways, and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts. So when the We Robot Conference puts up a banner that would normally look like the hand of God touching a human hand — but in their case, they put a robot’s hand reaching out to touch a man’s hand — something just doesn’t set well with me re: that image.
Don’t get me wrong. I think robotics can be very helpful — especially in manufacturing, fire safety, other. But in some of the robotics space/spheres of work, when we think we can “do better” than the LORD — to make a better mind than what He gave us — I get a bit nervous.
Tiny, implantable medical device can propel itself through bloodstream — from Stanford University by Andrew Myers
Tiny, implantable medical device can propel itself through bloodstream
Excerpt:
For fifty years, scientists had searched for the secret to making tiny implantable devices that could travel through the bloodstream. Engineers at Stanford have demonstrated a wirelessly powered device that just may make the dream a reality.

In case it’s helpful, clicking on this link or on one of the images above will link you to a recent presentation that I did for an Interim course at Calvin College entitled, “Social Media for Business?” As the class had already covered a lot of the topics relating to social media, my job was to focus more on some of the recent emerging trends and technologies. I will continue to keep pulse checking on those technologies which will allow for ubiquitous, mobile (as well as from the living room), 24x7x365, multimedia-based learning.

- Almost all of the images on the slides are linked up to web-based resources; so if you see something of interest, go ahead and click on that image/slide in order to learn more about that topic/article/etc.
