Nanotech in Microchips by 2015
dotwhynot writes "Molecular electronics, a realm once considered science fiction, could be heading for our computers and devices sooner than thought.
A new report on the technology roadmap of the chip industry finds a growing confidence in new nanotechnology, and forecasts that the transition to the post-silicon era could happen by 2015.
The development of nanoswitches has already reached a point where it will be possible to manufacture them reliably at low cost. Intels goal over the next decade is to build chips that hold more than one trillion switches."
I thought the ipods already had this technology!
Let me be the first to coin the term "picotechnology". I don't know anything about it except that it will be sub-molecular electronics.
the 80's and 90's. Next will be "pico technology" and then after that "femto technology". Quick, trademark those names!
First dibs! It'll be the "in" thing, well, after I'm dead. Aw, shit!
... nano in my wafer. You got your wafer in my nano.
Intels goal over the next decade is to build chips that hold more than one trillion switches.
Floating point errors performed at the speed of light!
If big boobed women work at Hooters do one legged women work at IHOP?
we'll have flying cars...
No one cares what your captcha was

But you see nano tech will make flying cars, and Duke Nukem Forever possible!
...will be then fixed... too bad we have to wait 10 years for this.
Dude! I wish I had the Time to Mod my PC to look like that. Get some USB Gadges An old teletype case mixed with a tractor lazer printer, and a keyboard. A 32 Inch LCD screen in an Old 50s TV case, with some good speakers in it. Joysticks, some Switchs and modify a mechanical mouse with the duel steering wheel action! Dude adminstrating a Linux box with this would be a spectator sport.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
As it is now, I 'lose' my Thinkpad (in the couch cushions, under a coffee table book, etc.) about once a week. I'd hate to think of a system that I lose in folds of my flesh.
I judt got a nre Kinesis keybiartf so please excusr ant egregiou typos.
Oh.... I get it, you're from the lo-tech enclave set up by our Voryonite Overlords - that small patch of land back on planet Earth where people have been kept oblivious of the arrival of our Lords and left to develop on their own, the aim being to convince even the last sceptic that the arrival of our Lords has been a Good Thing (tm).
How cute, so you've got internet now. Do you also access it through neuralites or are you still using external equipment? I'm sorry, I'm a little out of touch - I haven't watched the OldWay Feed since I was very little... anyway, must run, a Triunian Starhopper has just docked, I need to fix some of their computer systems. A starport, even a remote one like Venus V, is a great place to be when you're a nerd
See ya! And do drop by once you develop space flights, I'll get you really good deals on antimatter!
So, now when programmers say there are "bugs" in the system, we know they mean nano-bugs; and we can all look forward to nano-viruses that will follow. Get me a can of NANO-RAID, please!
Bill's weapon was originally micro and soft. In his old age he has been downgraded to nano and it is no longer possible to measure for any degree of stiffness.
Mork says Bill's got a "nano nano"
Bill says "I am trying to reach pico status"
