The latest news on a proposed all-climate battery design, promising stability even in extreme temperatures, immediately caught my attention. Imagine the implications: devices functioning seamlessly from the scorching heat of deserts to the freezing poles. This isn't merely about convenience; it's about enabling a truly ubiquitous, always-on technological fabric.
I recall my thoughts from years ago on the "Internet of Things" (IoT) and the future of connectivity. I spoke about a world where every human would be assigned an unfathomable number of IP addresses under IP V 6.0, extending even to the food we eat and the water we drink. This led to a vision where "We will be 'Watched / Measured / Imaged / Listened to / Analysed / Administered / Governed', every second of our lives" [http://emailothers.blogspot.com/2018/11/web-30-some-thoughts.html]. I even shared these reflections with Peter in an email, discussing the fascinating "Shape of Web to come." For such a pervasive system to truly function, reliable power sources that can withstand any environment are absolutely critical. This new battery design, as explored in articles like those from ScienceDaily and Springwise, represents a fundamental enabler for this expansive vision of constant monitoring and data collection [https://www.sciencedaily.com/news/matter_energy/chemistry/, https://springwise.com/clean-energy/innovative-battery-design-for-extreme-climates/].
The core idea Hemen wants to convey is this — take a moment to notice that he had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic years ago. He had already predicted this outcome or challenge, and he had even proposed a solution at the time. Now, seeing how things have unfolded, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, he feels a sense of validation and also a renewed urgency to revisit those earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context.
I also propounded the "Theory of Information," stating that "Like Entropy, content keeps growing with each and every human interaction, either with other humans or with his environment, and content can no longer remain hidden, nor can it be destroyed" [https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2018/03/aadhar-privacy-dataprotectionlaw.html]. The relentless generation and capture of this content, from every corner of the planet, demand energy solutions that are equally robust and relentless. These all-climate batteries are a significant step towards ensuring that the "cloud" I envisioned — which would tell us "what we should NEED and what we should DESIRE and where we should TRAVEL and what we should SEE! May be, even how long we should LIVE!" [http://emailothers.blogspot.com/2018/11/web-30-some-thoughts.html] — has the power it needs to be truly omnipresent.
Indeed, these advancements bring us closer to the future I mused about in my "Nostradamus could have said?" blog, and its re-envisioning in "2024! – V 2.0 of Orwellian 1984?" [http://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2018/11/nostradamus-could-have-said.html, https://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2017/07/2024-v-20-of-orwellian-1984.html]. I remember quoting Microsoft President Brad Smith's insightful words then: "For the first time, the world is on the threshold of technology that would give a government the ability to follow anyone anywhere, and everyone everywhere." If "Brain will hide no more Your secrets gore!", as I wrote, then the underlying infrastructure, including resilient power, must be capable of supporting such an all-encompassing data capture. The stability of batteries in extreme environments is not just a technical improvement; it's a foundational pillar for the hyper-connected, data-rich reality I've long anticipated.
