  • yeah.....

  • Sophistication is the ultimate simplicity.

  • Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

  • You certainly are with your childlike pointless little sentence.

  • are you stupid?

  • LOL, he says it is for confidentiality when all of these chips are communicating with each other. These are the same chips they put in your pets to track them. Is the world insane?

  • rfid are the devil say no

  • He's wrong about one thing.... POWER! All computer circuits use power, that's why your 3 gig dual core processor gets so hot, 'cos it needs a lot of energy to its job. Just to communicate with each other these "grains of sand" need to have power hungry transmitters, that power does not come from the air. And you can forget solar power too, that tiny grain computer would need a solar panel the size of a football field to work.

  • ok he is probably right about computers getting a lot smaller than they are now, after all to get the same processing power we have in our laptop computers we use today, we would have to build a computer which would fill a complete skyscraper 40 years or so ago however, he's wrong about sucking power from the air. computers need POWER even ones the size of a pinhead, that's why your processor needs cooling it's using shed loads of power.

  • I need to market & network better on the internet.
