Figured a few people on here might appreciate some free press if relevant to your startups.

I've been asked to do a story on where that could lead, from the applications to the limitations (if any). Obviously its a fundamentally good thing and nobody would suggest putting the brakes on such advances, but I've ben told before by experts in several sectors that nowadays the problem isn't data processing itself but systems to further process the data we get out of so much information (for example, software can now distil a worldwide trend just by collecting and assessing twitter hashtags fairly quickly, but who or what has the semantic ability to give meaning to the results?) Otherwise, what kind of world would processors 10,000 times faster than those today give us? I'd like three perspectives; * academic with no business interests to comment on the science * a software company along the lines of Google or Facebook that has a lot of processing to do who can comment on how it will change their business * someone connected to manufacturing who can talk about the practical considerations to take into account. Requirements: I need input from the academic, software and hardware sectors -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Silicon Beach Australia mailing list.
