Investing in Digital Technology You’ll Be Seeing Spots Soon
The company talks about several interesting applications. However, it’s one they don’t talk about that has the greatest promise. HP’s new chips are called Memory Spots. They represent a way of bringing the digital world into the physical world. Initially, they’ll hold 1/2 megabyte of information. That’s not a lot by today’s standards, but it’s enough to hold a typical book and will rapidly multiply. By using a cheap portable electronic device to touch a chip, it’ll be possible to read information stored on the chip or modify that information. The chips can be embedded in all kinds of physical objects. It could, for example, lead to a new kind of greeting card experience. On a more serious note, the company expects these chips to be used to hold medical information on ID cards. **********Only 3 Hours Left********** How to Claim Your Piece of the Next $194.9 Million Energy Payout The U.S. Navy discovered an easy way to harness an energy form so powerful that the U.S. Department of Energy recently conducted a large-scale study on its potential impacts for energy independence in the U.S. The findings surprised everyone... The DoE found that the known reserves, when tapped, could produce as much energy as it would take to power the U.S. for the next 750,000 years, based on current consumption rates. You only have three hours to get in on this miracle energy… So read on here… *************************************** The medical information could be used to compare patient ID information against hospital or doctor’s records. It also supply crucial medical history to an ambulance crew so they immediately become aware of any serious allergies or special medical needs. Unlike the highly touted radio frequency ID (RFID) tags, these are not intended to identify the devices to which they’re attached. Like RFIDs, they’re expected to be quite inexpensive — about $0.10 apiece when manufactured in volume. Another similarity is that both technologies use weak radio waves to communicate. However, RFID works at distances up to several yards while memory spots require that the chip practically touch the scanner. I can imagine all sorts of gaming applications. For example, it could enable a touch-sensitive chessboard that records all the games ever played on it. I think one of the most promising applications will be in retail. Imagine walking into a store and being supplied with the loan of a handheld scanner by a friendly clerk. As you walk down the aisles, looking for products of interest, you probably won’t need a person to help you understand the features and benefits. Instead, you’ll touch your scanner to a chip embedded in the product box or display. *********************************** Penny Stocks Beat the Pants off of Large-Cap Stocks Year In and Year Out The best-performing stocks on the market are companies with tons of cash...groundbreaking products...and growing businesses — the same stocks that have proven to be the BEST investments over the last century. The one thing that makes these stocks different is...they're still small enough to make them affordable for small investors to make a grab for our share of the profits! I'll also show you which four you need to own right now to start your own string of gains (potentially worth millions!) for the rest of 2007. Check it out here… *********************************** The scanner will then display a small, narrated movie where you’ll see the product in action. Within five years, I expect this will evolve to the point that these displays will be interactive, and they’ll give you appropriate answers and demonstrations based upon the questions you ask. Memory spots will also be able to offer data encryption features. I think this may be the “sleeper application.” As the government becomes ever more intrusive and less respectful of privacy and its own Constitution, people will be looking for effective means to safeguard their data. In addition, data thieves are becoming ever more sophisticated as is corporate espionage. All of these threats to privacy and information security will drive people to seek inexpensive, easy to use methods of safeguarding data. It doesn’t get much better than a 1.4 mm. 10-cent chip. To your profitable future, P.S.: Usually, medicine advances only in small steps: A less invasive form of surgery. A refinement to a medication that reduces its side effects. A minor advancement in materials for prosthetics or artificial cartilage... Rarely do big and truly significant medical breakthroughs happen. But when they do, look out… Well, it just happened… One tiny, under-the-radar pharmaceuticals pioneer has brought America's most dreaded disease to its knees... And now, you have the chance to make 30-60 times your money with it… Check it all out here… |
