Preview: Ranking Quickly for Theme Keywords with Video

A quick preview of an upcoming video series for Theme Zoom members, hosted by me, on how to rank quickly in Google for your keywords with videos. This is just a fast sneak peek intro and thank you to Russell Wright at Theme Zoom.

Nanotube: Tech-Goddess word of the day

Nanotube: A one dimensional fullerene (a convex cage of atoms with only hexagonal and/or pentagonal faces) with a cylindrical shape. Carbon nanotubes discovered in 1991 by Sumio Iijima resemble rolled up graphite, although they can not really be made that way. Depending on the direction that the tubes appear to have been rolled (quantified by the ‘chiral vector’), they are known to act as conductors or semiconductors. Nanotubes are a proving to be useful as molecular components for nanotechnology. [Encyclopedia Nanotech]

Strictly speaking, any tube with nanoscale dimensions, but generally used to refer to carbon nanotubes, which are sheets of graphite rolled up to make a tube. A commonly mentioned non-carbon variety is made of boron nitride, another is silicon. These noncarbon nanotubes are most often referred to as nanowires. The dimensions are variable (down to 0.4 nm in diameter) and you can also get nanotubes within nanotubes, leading to a distinction between multi-walled and single-walled nanotubes. Apart from remarkable tensile strength, nanotubes exhibit varying electrical properties (depending on the way the graphite structure spirals around the tube, and other factors, such as doping), and can be superconducting, insulating, semiconducting or conducting (metallic). [CMP]

Nanotubes can be either electrically conductive or semiconductive, depending on their helicity, leading to nanoscale wires and electrical components. These one-dimensional fibers exhibit electrical conductivity as high as copper, thermal conductivity as high as diamond, strength 100 times greater than steel at one sixth the weight, and high strain to failure.

IBM using DNA in Nanotube Chips

If you are still thinking that chips must be built, think again. The latest trend IBM is exploring is GROWING chips from the building block of life: DNA.

The sceintists at IBM are experimenting with using something called nanotubes, which are just strands of carbon atoms that can conduct electricity, with DNA. The DNA then does as DNA will, it replicates itself along with the nanotubes into a grid that can perform calculations or serve as information storage. Read more

Brilliantly Post-Technological

Erika here, your personal Tech-Goddess, and as Stargate fans would say, “Brilliantly Post-Technological”.

I feel that this is a subtle shift in thinking that is also happening with men and the male brain globally. It’s a search for connection and meaning.Web thinking, in tech, means that if you show me the prototype for a new kind gadget, first my brain flips through the emotional connects of whether I actually like it and would use it, and then begins connecting to how it would be useful to me, to you, to others, to humanity, and what kind of emotional and psychological impact does it have as a whole

Then from the emotions I flip over to the logical, just HOW useful is it? I start thinking of applications, and where it will or will not be relevant, then imagination kicks in and the timelines all happen at once. Can I see myself, other women, other men using this? How does it look, feel, taste, smell as I live their experiences? How much easier is it making my life in the scenarios? Is it viral? Or, is it just a really bad idea?

Digging deeper I want to know if this new gadget will benefit your business, your life, your family and HOW. Is this something we are evolving towards, away from or through? Where does it all converge back into one truth, and what is the core essence from the singular person to a world and universal level.

All of this happens for me in a few seconds of paralyzing brain freeze, something I thought at one time was lethal and radical daydreaming but now see as (Stargate inspired) post-technological web thinking.

In short, my intention is to look at tech and offer insight and instruction from a larger view. Let’s look PAST whatever current tech, gadget, trend or viral video we are talking about to the future we are evolving towards where technology is organic and our awake minds not only interfacing with the tech, but ARE the tech. (Post-Technological)

Can you imagine a world where call phones are no longer needed because our brains have learned to dial the “frequency” (like the current phone numbers) of the person we wish to call, and then we use telepathy to have a conversation? When I see something like the new nano-tech phone concept I’m reviewing here soon, I’m seeing communication and tech moving post-tech, BACK to the FUTURE, to organic

Ancient or Future?
You decide.

Your Tech-Goddess, Erika
