NEW TECHNOLOGY
-
I don't want to upload anything into my brain. What happens when you get a virus or it crashes?

I like the part in the video where Dr. Kaku compares the human brain to it's equivalent computer model. The human brain for it's size only uses 20 watts of energy. It's computer equivalent would be as large as a city block...require a large electrical plant to power it...and a river of water to cool it. While technology may aid in some situations, it would seem that we need more to...Learn How To Use Our Brains!

Here it is!!! I don't agree with some parts like where they think that God is created in the human mind. They are going to find out...that it is the other way around!
This was great!! Thanks for posting!! Michio is so funny... was very interesting about the chips and yes, the 20 watts of energy!! Also about implanting memories... and his idea for curing Alzheimer's by using the implant to give back the memories. This is the new promising idea for treating Alzheimer's... This sounds amazing! Hope it works in humans... http://www.sciencealert.com/new-alzheimer-s-treatment-fully-restores-memory-function I have to agree with you about God not created in the human mind, I think that is just the scientist speaking. Also liked the idea of the translating contact lenses, or maybe it should be a hearing aid type device! It would be good for traveling

We've Come A Long Way Baby! (Concerning Computers) This was the beginning of the personal computer age. Altair 8800b Fool on the Hill Demo On page 6 and 7 of Dr. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics & Orthodontia there's a program listing of Steve Dompier's program for making music on an Altair 8800. The idea is to cause the computer to send radio wave interference to a nearby AM radio tuned to an un-used channel low on the dial.

There was an Astronaut aboard The Mars Curiousity Rover that not many people knew about. He went along to help calibrate the cameras and was the first man to land on Mars in August of 2012.(To the best of my knowledge) http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/images/wallpaper/PIA16131-1280x800.jpg

What no Marvin the Martian?! Is this your April Fools joke Steven?

Still trying to understand, this was the computer that ran Basic? Didn't get the Fool on the Hill connection there. It also gave me a bit of a headache remembering staying up all night, trying to find a period that was keeping a program from running!! floppy disk days...

When The Mars Rover Curiosity landed on Mars in August of 2012, they had sent a 1909 Lincoln penny along to help calibrate and adjust the high definition camera on board. The link is a picture of that penny. I of course, was referring to Lincoln as being the first astronaut to land on Mars. The Altair computer (which was named after the planet in the movie Forbidden Planet) was the beginning of the personal public computer age. It was a science kit that was offered at electronics stores at the time. This particular one had been bought and programmed by using the switches on the front, to play the song Fool On The Hill. It was set up to broadcast the song on an AM radio frequency. When an AM radio was put beside the computer, you could hear the song being played through the radio. This simple computer and song was used in a demonstration in front of a bunch of other computer geeks and became a large part of the birth of the age of all of the personal public computing devices that we use today.

Lincoln on Mars! Yes I remember reading about the Mars Rover at the time. Thought you were talking about the little drawn guy! I don't think I've ever seen Forbidden Planet, so missed that altogether. Cool how that was programmed to play Fool on the Hill on an AM frequency. From Alan Turing, to this Altair computer. Michio Kaku said they will get much smaller still! Thanks for clearing that up...

^ Forbidden Planet had Walter Pidgeon and Anne Francis in it and also the first appearance of Robbie the Robot. I think that the Abacus is considered by some to have been a computer too. Coast to Coast has a show on tonight about some unusual recent radio wave bursts from space being analyzed by SETI.

Just saw this article about the same phenominum . http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22630153.600-is-this-et-mystery-of-strange-radio-bursts-from-space.html#.VSizN9q9KSM

Was looking at this device that converts plastics back to oil. They're teaching people about using it and therefore lowering the CO2 footprint An idea desperately needed!!

It will lower the CO2 emissions, can be used in remote locations, it has the potential to change the world, Consider a free energy worldwide, it does not produce nuclear waste, the only cost is the equipment. It also has the potential to change control of energy, to all the people. I think this could lead to a more peaceful world, because who can control the sunlight that falls on the Earth? No use going to war for oil?! May be simplistic, but I really like this guy Elon Musk and Tesla was pretty cool too!

I heard about his response on the news (re. Apple watch) - but just couldn't quite picture it until now. Enjoy your Conan show feast!

Couldn't Robbie the Robot be considered part 3-D Printer? (Along with his computer skills of course). I've enjoyed reading through the pages in this thread and clicking on some of the links I heard an interview about the self driving cars - and someone asked if the driver will look like the driver in the 5th Element - the response was: We aren't putting a driver in there at all .... why? We need to have less weight and the space available .... and they don't even have steering wheels Why? He says again .... it is being steered by the computer. The early cars actually have all the steering wheel, gas and brake pedals etc..... in case the driving has to be taken over. I get concerned when I think of the computer on my work area and at home - locking up or temporarily freezing or having glitches .... etc .... all at the expense of me being a passenger or on the same road as the driverless car.

Robbie was quite the multi-tasker! I have worked in several different jobs in my life in the context of being a professional driver. I have talked to many fellow drivers about automated driving technology. We all agree on one thing. It is a fanciful and dangerous joke. There is nothing better than a wide awake well trained and responsible driver...including train engineers. Electronic warning systems involving upcoming road conditions or track conditions would be far more helpful and constructive.

They are actually starting the process of your car taking over the controls for you, with the cars that sense something and brake for you..
self driving car. I agree, with all of the times that my computer freezes, won't work, forcing me to reboot all day, I don't think this is a great idea. Still waiting to hear about how that train was going twice the speed limit, around the bend.
