In 2020 the Internet will
. be more geographically dispersed
. be network of things, not computers
. carry exabytes -perhaps zettabytes- of content
. be wireless
. be greener
. attract more hackers
yet its presence has been felt, trembling along the lines of analysis.
A frigid as-yet undiscovered Solar System planet with ten times the mass of Earth. Its twenty thousand year orbit is eccentric, so likelier than not it is near aphelion, in Sagittarius, perhaps, drifting slowly among the spray of background stars. Its cloud tops aglow in the far infrared, a mere 40 Kelvin from absolute zero. Invisible to WISE in all its incarnations. Far fainter than the 2MASS limits. Obscure. In the optical, it reflects the rays of the distant Sun to shine in the twenty third magnitude. Traces of its presence might reside on the tapes, in the RAID arrays, suspended in the exabyte seas if one knew just where and how to look.
Dim, indeed, but not impossibly dim...

On the occasion of the art event Antiche Dimore, Edolo (Brescia), fith edition 2014
“A difficult to manage and conflicting relationship that finds its balance in the pacing of the opposites in an optical game: they enrich us to make us poorer, they give us to take it away, they attract us to repel us, they charm us to tire us, they strengthen us to make us weaker, they make us join in to isolate us, they take to take away. In the web, the spider eats data to build networks. It learns and keeps them but it is not able to keep them to process them and as a seeve continues to empty itself of contents.” Gloria Campriani
#Newbombings
Dying for information? The question was asked by The Economist, that dedicated its cover to this very issue: how much is the continuous flow of information and data changing the world by flooding the web everyday?
Inspired by the aforementioned article, #Newbombings reflects on the bombing speed of data and information that make us more and more disconnected, forcing us to use more than one function at the same time.
Some examples made by the renown weekly British magazine are illuminating: the video-information gathered by the American drones flying over Iraq and Afghanistan in the only 2009 would need 24 years to be watched on the whole. Thanks to the technological development in 2001 this amount will be multiplied by 30. In 2005 humanity has uploaded 150 exabytes (billions of gygabites): who is reading these data and to what end?
The project focuses on the human beings and their psycho-physic wellness in relation to the device.
A frantic chaos of news accompanied by sounds, that characterize the various social media, continuously reach our devices even when they are not needed, annoying us, making us upset, nervous and in some cases even anxious.
We let them reach us at any time and in any place up to the point to be so overloaded by data that we are no longer able to concentrate properly.
A piece of information arrives after the other, sometimes even overlying with such a speed that the perpetual mechanism prevents us from reading the whole content. Often we interpret its meaning or we get it confusingly, losing the inner meaning and in some cases even the memory.
On the other hand the speed and the continuous alertness of the device is the sole condition to be continuously part of the big web, losing ourselves in an ocean of information that limits our freedom.
Firmly convinced to be always up-to-date, the new generations deceived themselves about having full access to the knowledge to such an extent that any other tool is not believed being as good as the Internet.
The young are unaware to be harmed, both psychologically and physically, by the radiations circulating with an intensity that varies depending on keeping the suggested safety distance (WHO suggests to keep the mobile phone at least 30-40 cm from your body).
It is especially towards the foeti still in their mothers' wombs or the new-born babies that these radiations provoke remarkable biological effects, especially from the neurological point of view. Those who are growing are the more seriously damaged ones.
The favourite targets are: pregnant women, children and teenagers. This last group live in a phase in which they should favour activities able to stimulate intuition, emotions and creativity in order to develop their mindset that is the sole element to rely on to identify the importance of an information.
Their are little trained to properly use this device and without any information able to help them to select the junk news from the relevant ones, they let any kind of updating reaching them whenever.
Adults are not exempt to this harmful mechanism. It is, indeed, a conflictual relationship with the device (and especially with the various social networks: Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, Whatsapp, Google Plus, Tumblr, Linkedin, Flickr, Instagram, Ask, My Space etc.) that cannot be easily managed and it is represented by the rhythmic contrast of #Newbombings.
#Newbombings
Twelve people randomly chosen amongst the audience, create a circle around the performer who lays on a big optical carpet discharging energies with black and white squares.
Each participant wears a t-shirt with the symbol of a social network printed on their back and holds a ball of coloured cotton thread tied to the performer's body, to whom all of them are linked.
The soundtrack, created by Joe Firenze on purpose, underlines the action. Each time the participants pull a thread, they stimulate the performer from whom they receive a mechanical reply shown by a body movement.
Metaphorically the stimulus is the same as the sound of an incoming or exiting data of a social network and the performer wakes up each time from her psychological condition by moving herself due to the continuous flow of IT strokes. Her body shakes, especially her belly, highlighting one of the most vulnerable parts.
Confused and rebelling herself, she tries to free herself from the threads that are forcing her to be as such because it is only through the development of the mindset that she can see the importance of an information and find her freedom.
Paradoxically the defence shield of the performer is the activity of the vibrations of the belly through which she discharges the tensions and she finds the sought quiet.
AT the beginning of the performance, the performer talks to OFF saying:
“Dear OFF,
my memory is no longer steady and my ability to concentrate is fading. I feel tired and weak, completely emptied from the energies and lonely.
I published, shared and commented data for hours, as always happens when you get in contact with a variety of people without building close relationships.
How can you only imagine to live without this device? The only thought makes me feel afraid of being isolated from the world or am I already so?

Earlier this month, Google CEO Eric Schmidt told a conference in California that we create about 5 exabytes (EB) of information every two days. That is as much information as man created from the dawn of civilisation until 2003.
I have illustrated the statistic with my drawing skills which I have rediscovered thanks to Gamestorming, a book by my colleagues at XPLANE, and a Gamestorming workshop I attended last week.
Taking a photo of my drawing added 1.4 Mb to the world's information. That is how much data that would once fit on a 3.5 inch diskette - one photo of a drawing.
Victor Rodriguez is a Dean’s Honored Graduate from the Departments of Physics and Mathematics. He is being recognized for his superior academic performance, completing two degrees while earning a 3.98 GPA, as well as is outstanding research in the area of fundamental particle physics leading to the discovery and elucidation of the Higgs Boson at CERN completed under the direction of Professor Peter Onyisi.
Victor’s knack for independent investigation became evident in his first year, when he submitted a paper of his own conception to the Undergraduate Research Journal. Victor wanted to learn about chaotic systems and nonlinear dynamics, and so wrote about a topic—a so-called double pendulum that has fascinated physicists for decades. The editors at the URJ were first of all surprised that a science student had self-initiated this work. Students and faculty were taken by the obvious individual exploration that was represented in Victor’s paper and with his ability to have re- created some of the essential findings of the field in a thought process that was his own and driven of his own curiosity.
Victor completed research in particle physics during two significant summer research fellowships, one from the U.S. Department of Energy and one from the U.S. National Science Foundation. He utilized these two research fellowships to travel to Europe. He first went to the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Frascati (outside of Rome), where he assisted with the programming of very high speed electronics arrays that are used to filter and retain the small fraction of interesting data out of the many “Exabytes” of data produced at the LHC. In his second summer, he participated in a program working under the auspices of the University of Michigan, but performing research in Geneva Switzerland with scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). There, he contributed to the scientific analysis of data from the LHC that preceded the announcement on July 4, 2012, of the discovery of the Higgs Boson. Particle physicists perform extensive test analyses on mock data sets generated by computer numerical simulations. In this way, they test their algorithms and decision matrices in simulated environments, which can teach them about potential false discoveries, or potential inefficiencies, which might lead them to miss a needle in the haystack. Victor’s work was an optimization of the main analysis code, and suggested revisions to the analysis, which could lead to a better discovery potential for the experiment. He has continued this work here in Austin with Professor Peter Onyisi.
In recognition of his research accomplishments, Victor was awarded the prestigious 2013 Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, a national competition to identify the leading science, mathematics, and engineering students from across the country. This distinction follows a long list of college and university honors, including the college honor roll, an Unrestricted Endowed Presidential Scholarship, Phi Beta Kappa, the Albert Bennett Calculus Prize, and a scholarship from the American Physical Society.
In the fall Victor will attend Harvard University to earn a PhD in theoretical physics thanks to a prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation.

The total available storage in the world is projected to be roughly 600 exabytes by mid-2009. To cope with these demands, some 500 million hard disks were produced in 2007. The number is expected to pass the one billion mark in the ensuing five years.
The NEXUS DLC-X Coating System with Filtered Cathodic Arc Technology has the potential to make these products much better by increasing their capacity and decreasing their size, further reducing the cost per stored byte. It was developed by Andre Anders of Berkeley Lab’s Accelerator & Fusion Research Division and scientists from Veeco Instruments, Inc.
The technology applies dense, even, and unprecedentedly thin films of diamond-like carbon to the read/write head assemblies of computer hard disks. The pulsed, filtered cathodic arc delivers thinner coatings with the requisite evenness than chemical vapor

Boris Manenti the French journalist with Le Nouvel Observateur has published an article in the monthly magazine ‘Obsession’ on how big data collections could lead to big brother. In the article he states “Big Data is the massive volume of digital data that is so large to process that it needs additional management tools and database processing applications. It is much more than a concept; it’s a whole new technology that promises to “revolutionize our everyday lives.” The term “Big Data” originated from a simple observation. Every day around the world, 2.5 exabytes of data are generated. This data comes from everywhere: social networks, photos and videos posted on the Internet, GPS coordinates from smart phones, weather statistics from every corner of the earth, banking transactions, and so on. This massive amount of information only reveals its full potential after being processed, analyzed and cross-referenced. …The implications of Big Data are numerous – in theory at least. For the moment, the analysis of massive amounts of data mostly concerns companies who use it as a way to analyze their clients’ consumer habits. …The problem is the public’s acceptance. Big Data cannot be allowed to turn into “Big Brother.” “The users’ trust is crucial,” says Chuck Hollis. “To get the best medical treatment, we give our doctor as much information as we can, because we trust him. Big Data needs to convince its users it can be trusted in the same way.” He adds: “Every new technology creates new fears. Fire, electricity, the Internet, Big Data. With good there is always bad, we just need to keep that in check.” Inspired by Boris Manenti, Nouvel Observateur ow.ly/gXF3Z Image source Twitter ow.ly/gXF2K
An estimated 5 exabytes of unique information were created in 2008. This is equivalent to 1 billion DVDs. Just three years later, the amount of unique information created was 1.2 zettabytes. This is the same as every person on Earth tweeting for 100 years, or 125 million years of your favorite 1-hour TV show. Much of this information is coming from our insatiable desire for rich media—especially video. In fact, more than 90 percent of the data flowing over the Internet in 2015 will be from video.

60 is the mm focal length of an Holga 120 lomographic camera.
It is an highly composite number having the factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 60.
The Babylonian number system had a base of 60, inherited from the Sumerian and Akkadian civilizations, and possibly motivated by the large number of divisors that 60 has. The sexagesimal measurement of time and of geometric angles is a legacy of the Babylonian system.
The number of miles per hour an automobile accelerates to from rest (0-60) as one of the standard measurements of performance.
'Gone in 60 Seconds' was one of the actor Nicolas Cage's poorer films, in my opininon.
An exbibyte (sometimes called an exabyte) is 2^60 bytes.

DROWNING IN DATA, GASPING FOR INSIGHT
Transformative Technologies Track Hosted by Intel
By some counts, the sheer volume of health care data could reach 2,314 exabytes (a single exabyte being equal to one billion gigabytes) by 2020. But this avalanche of information won’t necessarily foster knowledge, if history is any guide. Just 39% of doctors and 36% of patients used basic tools like patient health portals in 2018, for instance. And a massive swath of collected health data is never used at all. How can we transform the information at our command into actionable insight?

Salvaged. Needed a new cable but appears functional otherwise. Big, inefficient and not something I'm likely to need. But it has turned out handy occasionally. 3A capacity is nice for feeding near-shorts like dead NiCD's through a MOSFET.

Three scientists who corralled light to transform our communications systems share this year's physics Nobel Prize. Briton Charles Kao is lauded for his work in helping to develop fibre optic cables, the slender threads of glass that carry phone and net data as light.
AND THESE TWO GUYS FROM NEW JERSEY...
The other half of the prize is to be split between Willard Boyle, aged 85, and George Smith, 79, both whom made their breakthrough at Bell Laboratories at Murray Hill in the US state of New Jersey. Willard Boyle and George Smith, both North Americans, are recognised for their part in the invention of the charge-coupled device, or CCD.
Dr Robert Kirby-Harris, from the UK's Institute of Physics, celebrated the announcement.
"Ours is the age of information and images, and no two things better symbolise this than the internet and digital cameras," he said.
"From kilobytes to gigabytes, and now to petabytes and exabytes, information has never been so free-flowing or, with the development of the CCD, so instantly visual. These incredible inventors who have been responsible for transforming the world in which we live very much deserve their prize."
Trying an improvised macro setup: The camera was bolted to a table with the clampette. A large paper sheet clamped to a clothes rack was facing the flash on one side (image down). Boxes were used to elevate the object on a sheet of paper close to the camera.
13. Computer Core: Quantum computer with 10 Zettabyte storage for standard data and computer processing. With 5 Exabyte for the onboard AI. I design this inspired by the ship computer core in Star Trek and with the idea that they are advance servers. With each tile place onto a different level in relation to the other.
