Another week on, another weak one

these early starts and late night lab reports are enough to make one daze vacantly at a lifeless blog textbox for upwards of an hour with but the hint of progress.
Our presentation for CIT will be about memory, it's function, how to improve it and for my end of things, the future of memory. I will be writing on how i think that within our lifetime we will see an ever-increasing symbiosis with technology, where it will be possible to store in virtual memory important information for longer than the biological user may be able to commit said information to long term memory. It may be said of us, the user, that it is our abilty to cross reference and make informed guesses on multiple different aspects, taking into account a  huge amount of instantly accessable memories in our own brains. my side of the project will be to explore the possibility of similarly large, and larger amounts of easily cross-referencable material, and the searchability of this data to be made easier and faster year on year. It is easily protracted that at some stage, according to moores law, that this sort of mass data reference becomes the stuff of daily use. Already you will hardly go a day without access to the entirity of the internets resources, with recent near-ubiquitious technology, eg the iphone and using 3g and 4g networks, it is prudent to expect that more and more of our heavy text files and refernce books be easily perused whenever, wherever, with all the speed and efficiency of just havin an auld think about it.
