I like the old “Knight Rider” show. I think its neat to imagine having an intelligent artificially intelligent friend inside your car. I think that scenario is possible, just like the one where SkyNet decides to kill us all. But a Knight Rider future seems like a lot more fun.
I wonder if [...]

It just occurred to me that being able to call a friend or relative in a different part of the world and exchange ideas and information is AMAZING! I mean when you think about what it was like prior to telephones, it’s just mind blowing the incredible options and power we have. Being [...]

I love it that we’re getting closer and closer to the point where all televisions are super light, super thin, and super awesome. The picture quality has already improved so much with HD, and we’ve already begun to see TV’s only a few inches wide…
I’ll bet in the future an awesome graphic display will [...]

I recently watched a few segments of a show about very fast electric cars, which are hyped to be predecessors to cars of the future. One of them stood out because of how it reacts to stop lights. As soon as the light turns green, the driver puts his foot on the gas [...]

I recently read that off the coast of Florida tons of water rushes by in a strong, smooth current, never pausing, never stopping. This energy can be harnessed with turbines, and would equate to 10 nuclear power stations, capable of supplying power to (I believe) 1/3 of Florida. What if we did that [...]

But could [...]

A couple of months ago I was looking all over the internet for the local means by which I could recycle or properly dispose of a fluorescent light bulb. It was surprisingly not a straightforward process, in that the information I did find seemed geared toward a company or industrial organization. All this [...]

I read on Yahoo today that an ailing American spy satellite has gone rogue (i.e., we’ve lost control) and will make its way through our atmosphere to our surface. Perhaps it will land in the ocean, or on a deserted stretch of land. One particular detail caught my eye.
“The satellite, which no longer [...]

Just think: We’re close to developing AI already. If we could build a machine that was smart enough to build smarter versions of itself, at some point one incarnation would be powerful enough to come up with a sure-thing solution to global warming.
When Google changes its name to SkyNet, maybe we could ask [...]

I was watching an old episode of “The Simpsons,” and Homer and Mindy were selected to represent the Nuclear Power Plant. They were sitting at a table, maybe preparing to go on the air or something, when a few people walked by and yelled their displeasure with the Nuclear Power industry. One said [...]
