Hello, I am Robert G. Male. Welcome to TechStop. Here you will find links that I think are of interest.
Furthermore these are links that I want to keep track of because they have given me either ideas or some other form of
inspiration for my writing. Links are listed in order lowest to highest both in the date they are given and the order
in which they appear (meaning: read them from the bottom up for a certain day's list). Some of these sites may require
you to sign up for free. Without further ado, the links...

IBM produces first working chips modeled on the human brain
- I normally wouldn't post something like this. The research is so
nascent that it's not very helpful research for your writing, except that it allows you to gauge if your
technology timeline is going to be effective--for your near if not also far future stories. I chose this
particular article because of the additional background as well as the videos that it includes. This blend
or nanoscience, neuroscience, and supercomputing seems like an excellent step forward in artificial
intelligence research. It's also hard to deny the idea it could be the basis of making Skynet real since
the minds at DARPA are in the background pushing it forward.

The democratization of communication: In filter we trust
also Eli Pariser: Beware online "filter bubbles" (video 9:05)
- This isn't a new concept here, but it is a little more technical
look giving people their own online reality, which of course is becoming ever more offline or at least
sustained by mobile connections. The second link with the video has some nice clear examples of the
ideas. The problem is that it becomes hard to find different things, things that you did not know that
would like, but do once exposed to them. I certain want good filters when I am trying to narrow things
down, but an ability to turn it off is certainly necessary. There are many consequences to these bubbles
on both sides of their desirability.
