Mobility is Magnetic


What I love the most about this mobile technology charging application recently made public by a team from MIT is that it is not a new technology. In a time when some of us prone to old fashioned adventure might begin to feel that there is less and less of a reason to look over the edge of the horizon we find that there is something new right before us.

As far as the specific technical workings of the technology are concerned I am still clueless, but have been inspired to look into the technology more closely in part, simply because I am curious, and also because this will only do more to allow our technology to become truly nomadic.

To project the possibility of such a technology into the future could we see when used in conjunction with artificial intelligence and the use of naturally occurring magnetic resonance the veritable emergence of our devices from the primordial seas to begin crawling on dry land. More simply, what are the ramifications of a device that has a degree of sentience that is powered by some omnipresent and constant source of energy. Couple this eternal sensor with mobility and we have something truly amazing.

Again, due to my technical limitations I am only speaking in generalities but the idea of thinking machines that are able to traverse terrain under their own power essentially indefinitely is daunting prospect.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us at The Technomadic Times and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best,

Ken
