I am not even going to begin this blog by saying I know anything at all about nanotechnology, but what I did glean from the book and from the article we were given is that our machines, especially the microprocessors, are now being built at the atomic level.
Why not concentrate on making our RAM chips smaller and more efficient? Can nanotechnology be applied to manufacturing RAM? Again, I am not a scientist, but from what I read in chapter four and from other books, is that a computers RAM is what really gives it a stronger, speedier performance. I want faster, smaller, and more affordable RAM. Primary storage people! The wait time is over. Can't you picture our programs loaded and ready at the blink of an eye? Isn't that what technology is all about, decreasing wait time. It never hurts to dream!
Yes. I think you're correct, decreasing the time is exactly what it's all about. Making chips smaller decreases the electronic signal travel time making things faster.
ReplyDeleteBy combining your idea of smaller and faster RAM chips with my idea of the "poster" television we could create a gaming system unlike anything you can imagine. Just picture every wall in your living room covered with a screen. A person could immerse themselves into a 360° gaming experience.
My idea was a single super device. I took your idea of smaller RAM chips (and PC components in general) to create it. It would resemble a pane of glass, and internally it would be an extremely fast portable computer with several uses. It would also have the ability to stretch out to be used as a TV, or a desktop computer. I think I may have went a bit too far with it tho. :)
ReplyDeleteWith the addition of Nano-batteries we would have a pretty small, powerful system, but hopefully it’s affordable as you mentioned above. RAM or any computer component will require an energy source that can hold its charge and be powerful enough to power all the components. The beauty of it is that you could put more than one battery in the system just in case a proper power source is not available to charge. The problem is what is going to charge batteries to work in a Nano-computer system? Now if we could only figure that out….
ReplyDeleteOh yes! With the development of smaller ram chips then we could super charge my smart phone which will have better conductive materials for reception and call quality. Talking on the phone and surfing the web from my smart phone will be lightening fast soon enough with both of our inventions.
ReplyDeleteMy idea was making PS3 into nanotechnology size. If they could get it down to the size of a DVD case or smaller, the ram chips would definitely have to be smaller. Combined with your technology the PS3 would be smaller and faster.
