Emerging Technology

The article i read was about new substances to increase batter power and more energy efficient. Thousands of substances, at San Diego Wildcat Discovery Technologies, are being tested for a valuable energy source. Some of the substances that are now found and used help batteries work more reliably at a higher voltage. The future technologies are only going to get greater and better. What surprised me the most was that they are trying to make these high powered batteries more efficient, yet keep them small for certain operating conditions. Possibilities in the future for this are better smart phones, faster processing in mobile and other devices, and the batteries will be able to withstand higher voltages. I think that this is a great subject to study and learn more about. It's going to help out a lot of scientists and people in general who use cell phones and other devices. One thing in 2009 that is emerging today is the intelligent software assistant, and today, to most people that is Siri. Siri is a voice on the iPhone that you can ask questions and it will answer them for you by using its computer technology to research things in a matter of seconds.
