Since we have now redefined nanotech to include anything that deals in nanometer scale structures, rather than artificially constructed mechanisms with molecules as components, how far back in time can we claim "nanotech" to have been practiced? The first crystal growth? Perhaps to the first time a crystal was cleaved along certain atomic planes?
Perhaps we could do something similar with "space settlement" and just sort of forget that 1973 was the year that western civilization turned away from its destiny in space and began threatning the planet with globalist growth.
I just don't see the point of mp3 players. I'm never further than a meter away from a computer, so I can have music there, sure the quailty may not be the best but what can you do? I can only think of about 3 occaisons where I would be away from a box for longer than a half hour:
1. The commute to work: Dangerous/I have the radio
2. Exersise: I ride my bicycle from my house to the local park, and I need to cross some streets to get there. Dangerous
3. Geocaching: I like to listen to the nature, not the latest teeny-bopper chart topper:).
So, while this is a neat project, I just don't see the point of this (and more expensive) mp3 players.
The problem here is its such a broad topic. People's interest diverge so far that it's really a much more suitable topic for a generalized search engine Google rather than a magazine format. While some people will tend to think that stuff in the kitchen is cool, others will think it should include coding. Others will want automotive and others will prefer architecture or explosives or metalwork or hide tanning or alternative energy. The Foxfire series tried to do something similar, but they also had a theme beyond just doing it yourself which was doing it the old fashioned way. That only appealed to a certain set. Coming at it from the opposite, doing it yourself and doing in the new way doesn't really seem to work as a theme.
I think the real question is, do we still need magazines?
A: Don't even try. High school students are so concerned with their looks and trying to get head that there's not much interest in anything else. High school students are also concerned about popularity and other things that don't matter in the real world.
I live in Japan and these Credit Card phones have been out for atleast 5 months. That said, I use one and it's really handy. Riding the trains is very nice since I don't have to wait in line to buy tickets any more. Untill the tech. is adopted in more convenience stores outside of the train stations though, I'll still need my change purse.
As we all know, the japanese love to use cash anyway, so I feel like a tech like this stands a better chance at becomming really really popular in the US or Europe, where credit cards are more commonly accepted. Pretty frequent to have busniess associates of mine get into jams at nice resturants because they don't have enough cash.

That should make everyone feel better too.

I'm being completely serious here. She used to write a collumn for OPM, and she wrote about her name once.
