RFID - Idea Viability
By Harish Keshwani at 23 October, 2004, 8:18 pm
We are onto the last technology in our comparison. Here we will be discussing Radio Frequency IDentification based solutions - Idea viability. As in computers, Hardware is becoming cheaper every day, whereas custom software that make these computers useful, remains premium cost component of complete computer solution. RFID solutions seems to be following the same [...]

Nanotechnology - Socio-economic factors
By Harish Keshwani at 20 October, 2004, 9:57 pm
Socio-Economic effects of Nanotechnology range widely from extremes of science fiction to reality. Nanotechnology has potential to dramatically increase the life expectancy of human beings through diagnostic or treatment nano-machines, improved drugs, or DNA repair. Although this is a positive outcome, it may give rise to some interesting science fiction scenarios, like capacity-exhausted cities or [...]
Nanotechnology - Return vs Effort
By Harish Keshwani at 19 October, 2004, 9:31 pm
Before we discuss Nanotechnology’s Return vs Effort, let me take you to the Golden days of Dotcom, when Hype was the king! Any and every internet related idea was a money maker. If you were a smart investor in Dotcom companies and cashed out before the Dotcom bubble burst, you were lucky, otherwise you lost [...]
Nanotechnology - Federal Regulations
By Harish Keshwani at 18 October, 2004, 9:13 pm
Nanotechnology is a fledgling technology waiting to take off. Federal regulations do exist in certain areas but some areas are practically bereft of them. When you deal with almost invisible atoms and molecules and especially when you are modifying them, results can be unstable and/or unpredictable. Given this uncertainty and lack of regulations, it is [...]
