Miniaturization

This was the craziest article ever! It talked about how IBM is developing a new computer chip that will be able to contain as much information as a college library. It also talked about all of the things that will be possible with portable devices like iPods and iPhones. With these devices we could possibly have students study the expansion West in America, voting, or the slow progression of the Sahara. We could also have students download books into their iPods so that they came listen to them while they are in the car or they can read the book from their iPod when they're just hanging out. The weird thing about this article is that it gave so many ideas about what we might be able to do with these devices, it almost makes it hard to believe.
