we are getting a bit techno-philosophical, but so what? ... never knew anybody who could restrain me from speaking
wireless technology seems to me to be the machine equivalent of human speech... up until now, machines have been limited to written binary handoffs in a world primarily framed by copper cages... sure, fiberopic has made a marked improvement, but only by speeding up the tethered chain in its longest and hardest working links
PC's and phones remind me of a "grand chain gang of machines"... wireless breaks the chain, and represents a magnificent paradigm shift in freedom and efficiency
now combine human speech with machine speech, and you have bonafide technological efficiency of the highest order
as for your questions, wow wireless detection and analysis open up a whole new field perhaps... security will be of paramount importance... I like the recent relationship between QCOM and that Canadian security outfit Certicon
absolutely, we will have the capability to detect wireless presence among us... operating systems on a PC can detect an available printer via infrared... wireless detection is a natural... this realm will boggle our minds eventually with recognition systems programmed with deep intelligence... e.g. detecting a recognized wireless person who has come into range... e.g. detecting a bogus wireless signal indicating a failed or failing system such as a storage device or security system
nice to think and dream... with voice recognition researched, patented, implemented (almost), QCOM is not only controlling the platform, but spearheading its frontier... I look forward to the next phase where true competition atop the wireless platform develops and matures... and remember, all participants pay dues to theQ
we are approaching Star Trek every day !!! where is the holodeck? I got some programs just waiting to run too bad QCOM isnt involved with virtual reality / jim |
