Technology Quarterly

Posted by michael on from the three-months-of-excitement-compressed-into-one-day dept.

LarsWestergren writes "There is an unusually interesting Technology Quarterly available for free from The Economist where they discuss some of the more interesting new areas in the area of science and technology. Of most interest to Slashdot might be Open source's local heroes, or perhaps playing Pac-Man on thought-controlled computers. Among the other articles this month: Predicting microweather, transparent magnetic memories, smart robotic transplants, how to bake the perfect chip, and Benoit Mandelbrot - the father of fractals."

    I'll say! Give or take, say, five exabytes or so...
    Haha. Hahaha. Er, no. We know that some data was created, that's for damn sure. Look at /. over the last year. How much did the database expand? OK, now look at SourceForge. How many newe projects and releases? Now, the estimation of that in total is another matter, but we can make order of magnitude estimates fairly easily.
