    With the global focus on combating digital piracy while protecting people's free speech and rights on the internet (the current controversies over SOPA, for example), here is a thought-provoking idea about what the future of IP, digital piracy, and citizenship will have to deal with: 3D printers- as they become cheaper, better, and more mainstream... will designs for actual physical objects become what is easily pirated online? So now, you can make a physical object (toys, clothing, etc) by downloading the design files on pirate sites, then make the object yourself. Will digital piracy extend into theft (making unauthorized copies) of physical objects?

  • This is the so-called Internet of Things, when all sorts of everyday objects will have tiny chips placed inside them and gain the ability to process information and talk to the Web.
  • ARM chips, by contrast, are made by a handful of contract chip manufacturers and cost 65 cents to $20 each.
  • ARM executives agree that the future is with the billions of coming things — cars, refrigerators, TVs, clothes, buildings — that will have full-blown chips or at least Web-ready sensors inside them. In many cases, they say, these things will need the lowest-power chips possible because they will be out in the world and away from a plug. Energy has replaced horsepower as the prime concern, and it is here, ARM executives said, that the company’s skills will really shine.

    I especially love the last quote of this interesting article: "... Now, it's all about penetrating these weird markets that we can't even fully fathom yet." Maybe the ARM chip will be behind a disruptive innovation - it's fun to think about the possibilities

    We have a reading on "ubiquitous computing" later in the semester that gets into these fascinating issues and how they might affect education.
