George, I'm a recent subscriber to the GTR. Your comments on the Mead analog camera are interesting, and if everything stayed the same it would likely displace film. However, the competition isn't just film, it's digital methodology, and things don't stay the same. Digital cameras will follow Moore's law and continue to rapidly improve. Film has reached a level where only minimal improvements are possible. Mead's previous innovations in hearing and fingerprints were rapidly overtaken by a digital DSP core with an analog front end to translate the real world. Why won't this happen with cameras too? The only difference I can see is the complexity of visual information. How does the Mead solution improve on the actual sensor methodology to detect the light photons? I think this may be one of the main problems with present digital technology.
