Quantum computers are many years away from cracking crypto: MIT Tech Review - 0 views

  • Condensed matter theory physicist and quantum information expert Sankar Das Sarma has argued in MIT Technology Review that quantum computers remain a very long way away from cracking RSA-based cryptography.
  • An example of the methodology in crypto is the creation of a new wallet that generates a public address and private key.
  • Quantum security is seen as a major issue in the blockchain and crypto sector and it is widely believed that powerful quantum computers will one day become advanced enough to hack current cryptography.

3D Printing [infographic] - 0 views

  •  
    More about 3D printing...interesting that the graphic has a category for "disruptive technology" that includes Western Union noting the shortcomings of telephones and the (famous) Thomas Watson quote that the world market would be "maybe five computers."

    Gets to the human context at ~13:30 mins. Great illustration of how to make meaning from the seemingly meaningless, or at least from data that we don't usually connect to our daily experience.

How the 'creative class' is re-making the world | SmartPlanet - 1 views

  •  
    $100/month membership-based workshops filled with otherwise inaccessible and often hugely expensive machinery, such as CNC mills, 3D printers and laser cutters. populated by people whose skills in computed-aided design and access to new materials is changing the world of manufacturing Perhaps, as has been suggested, the greatest opportunity for small scale manufacturing is in the developing world. But can Tech Shop be replicated in regions that aren't flush with people who have sizable disposable incomes?

    Folks at any museum who are thinking about incorporating experiences for the blind should watch these videos - especially Describing Colors to Blind People, Intangible Concepts to a Blind Person, and How a Blind Person Uses a Computer. Lots of other good stuff here too, plus you gotta love Tommy's attitude.

The race to save the Internet from quantum hackers - 0 views

  • Even the most bullish proponents of quantum computing say we’ll have to wait a while until the machines are powerful enough to crack encryption keys, and many doubt it will happen this decade — if at all.
