Quotes About Miniaturization

Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We'll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today.

If you make them tiny, and you have to because the pages are only about this big, then everything changes. It's like they come to life by themselves. Then you have to draw in all these different details for them. You have to think about how they'd protect themselves, how they'd reach things.

playing with the Barbie-size keyboard on my new phone. Phones are like toys now. They fit in your pocket, light up and vibrate like joy buzzers. Plus, you can get-I mean, "access"-the Internet and find anything you want. Music. Maps. Porn. Anything. If cell phones came with a cigarette dispenser, they'd be the greatest stupid invention ever.

It is interesting to note, harking back again to the exponential growth of information technology, that the hardware on which Watson ran in 2011 was said to be about the size of the average bedroom. Today, we are told, it runs on a machine that is the size of three pizza boxes, and by the early 2020s Watson will sit comfortably in a smartphone.

The Air Force's demand for self-contained, inertial guidance systems played a leading role in the miniaturization of computers and the development of integrated circuits, the building blocks of the modern electronics industry.

The implied methods would permit construction of entirely new computers reduced in size and basic complexity by a factor of at least a thousand.

Already we see a trend in our own technological societies towards the fabrication of smaller and smaller machines that consume less and less energy and produce almost no waste. Taken to its logical conclusion, we expect advanced life-forms to be as small as the laws of physics allow.

People envision [looking inside the brain] as being very difficult. You had to take a spaceship, shrink it down, inject it into the bloodstream.

Moore's Law - The number of transistors and resistors on a chip doubles every 24 months

This is not a phone business. This is the smallest video camera, it's the smallest computer, smallest TV.

The Hitachi Corporation has created the world's smallest, thinnest RFID tags. Referred to as the "powder type," these tags are barely detectable to the naked eye. They are so small that they can be easily incorporated into thin paper or a single clothing fiber. These tiny tracking devices

Further ahead, I'd like to see tiny spacebots - smaller than your cell phone - travel outside our solar system to the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri. By keeping the mass of those spacebots low, we could more easily accelerate them.

The computer in your cell phone today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful and about a hundred thousand time smaller than the one computer at MIT in 1965.

ICs with ten to a hundred million components? ICs whose basic operating units are not transistors but entire microprocessors, built by the million into chips smaller than a thumbtack? Incredible as it may seem, such devices are a distinct, and utterly glorious, possibility.

Micro satellites, about the size of a loaf of bread, are going to be going into space more and more.

We did envision that some day the phone would be so small that you could hang it on your ear or even have it embedded under your skin.

To build the most basic yeast cell, for example, you would have to miniaturize about the same number of components as are found in a Boeing 777 jetliner and fit them into a sphere just five microns across; then somehow you would have to persuade that sphere to reproduce.

The first pacemaker was about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Today's are no bigger than one American quarter and can last up to ten years.

As long as we can make them smaller, we can make them faster.

Technology is getting smaller, faster, cheaper, and more powerful every day.

With electronics, they just get smaller and smaller.

Already physicists are doing the basic calculations necessary to make an MRI machine fit into a cell phone.

By 2020, the flat panel displays will likely come in a variety of forms. They will be miniaturized to work as wristwatch screens and may be added to eyeglasses or key chains. Eventually, they will become so cheap they will be everywhere: on the backs of airplane seats, in photo albums, in elevators, on notepads, on billboards, on the sides of buses and trains. They may one day be as common as paper.
