Wait a second... so now all those TV shows like CSI and JAG where they say “scan and enhance”, that stuffs for real now?
Apparently. The tech where big brother is able to view satellite images down to the street corner and each person in the image is in the works. It's only been partly fictional in JAG and NCIS up to now, but science fiction is often the precursor to R&D perceived reality.
Fact: In my first stint at college, my professor taught that most tech we have today was perceived and R&D'd in the late 50s/early 60s, and only because of cost-prohibitive production methods was the reason the tech wasn't developed back then.
As Mohr's Law curve rose, so did the ability to produce ever-increasingly smaller circuits with faster processors. And as production methods enabled smaller, faster circuitry, computers and mobile devices were more affordable for consumers.
FTR, all of this posting has done nothing regards controlling climate change or my room thermostat, because my herkin' thermostat has been on the past 2 nights raising rim with my sinuses, and now my problem is stuffy, runny nose and coming down with a cold. Tissues, chapstick, honey-lemon tea and needed bedrest, all before a very important meeting this Sunday, which may be missed, all because of the past 3 days of cold weather and my indoor thermostat.
Yes, it's personal, and no, I'm not liking it.
