IBM CEO; The future of computing is....analog!
I was thinking about this 2 years ago when someone brought up the fact
they hadn't been able to move artificial intelligence forward nearly as much as they'd have hoped. Now it seems a shift to analog might come to pass. It ties in with the emphasis of various corporations on the developement of nanotechnology. Motorola's announcement of production of billion-element displays seems to be related. I wonder if this means they could produce something like a high performance vidicon tube (obviously in a different format than the old, long tubes) as a new kind of digital camera sensor, a sensor with a smoothly linear response and a much broader dynamic range? |

So how exactly can a sensor with "smoothly linear response" provide a broader dynamic range?..Oh, wait--it can't. |
