Tech: July 2004 Archives
OLED, Organic Light Emiding-Diodes, another way to make ur basica LCD monitors, cheaper simpler to make, brighter and faster (only matter if u play FPS). Apprently SOny is going to start selling them. They are technically cheaper then LCD, but they been having life span issues so far, as tests show that OLED dont survive very long, speically used as a monitor. Not sure what is Sony's answer to this yet, but this article mentions Sony's desire to start selling them. So lets hope this tech is ready to roll, so we can all have our Matrix style multi flat panels with arms all over are work desk. Think Ikea-Techno.
Wired being a great source for reading, did an article on robots in parallel with their paper magazine. I think it has something to do with the craptacular "i' Robot" movie this summer, but Wired takes it into a more realistic level. This article gives the idea of what current technology in the field of robotics. And what possiable future these techs can comobine to form one day. A lot of is pretty amazing. TO thinking, with all this stuff that people are working on, like artifical muscle structure, AI, to synthetic skin. Pretty soon... we cna have real robots. Now will we need a Will Smith to protect us from them... thats a whoel other issue, but Wired does have an article on him also.
