Modern technology has advanced at an exponential rate since the turn of the millennium, and similar to how the epoch of the steam engine brought upon the Industrial Age, the epoch of the personal computer has brought upon the dawn of the Information Age. At the continuously compounding rate of innovation and invention, modern technology was prognosticated to hit a wall where advancements become rare. This prediction has been dubbed as Polanyi’s Paradox. As all theoretical barriers in the modern…

Science fiction as a literary genre has come a long way from Verne's search for the center of the earth and Wells' travel through time in his time machine. Contemporary science fiction is more willing to challenge the limits of possibilities and more eager to push the boundaries of human imagination. More importantly, science fiction often acts as a precursor to scientific thought, and forebodes new research; projects such as Google Glass can be traced to similar ideas presented much earlier in…

While ubiquitous Internet access is extremely convenient and enables marvelous new applications for mobile users, it also creates a major security vulnerability—by placing a passive receiver in the vicinity of the wireless transmitter, that receiver can obtain a copy of every packet that is transmitted! These packets can contain all kinds of sensitive information, including passwords, social security numbers, trade secrets, and private personal messages. A passive receiver that records a copy of…

Accordingly, he classified human intelligence into linguistic,…
