Diane Thornton Wrote: "Molecules and atoms—the structures described by quantum physics—consist of components. However, the subatomic particles cannot be understood as isolated entities." The same could be said for technology, a transistor, a chip, a diode, a pixel...it's not the parts, it's their coming together to make something useful; the techno-human relationship. QC relates to the convergence of technological advances and the prediction of the killer applications they will become.

Nokia Achieves Convergence Milestone
As a significant milestone in its fixed-mobile convergence strategy, Nokia has completed both voice and data calls with Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA) technology in a Nokia Solutions Experience Center in the United States. ~WirelessIQ

This is the news I've been waiting to hear. Combine this with the announcements yesterday by Sprint, Comcast, Time Warner and Cox and you have a recipe for a major shake up in the near future....

About Me

Name: "Stitch" Oliver Starr

Location: Venice, California, United States

A big kid in a grown-ups body, I’m a former pro athlete that’s a nerd at heart. From early days pounding away at a Hewlett Packard Teletype Terminal (that’s right, ticker tape!), and blowing up my first chemistry set, I’ve always loved the sciences; particularly chemicals (!) and computing. Today, I’m the CTO of a telecommunications company managing payphones and other systems for Fortune 1000 companies, as well as a biochemistry and technology consultant and freelance author. “Googling” my name; Oliver Starr, will reveal a wide range of my writings from humorous to frightening. Quantum Convergence is my focused attempt to identify, remark upon, and perhaps discover the most radical innovations in telecommunications, wireless, cellular, gaming, hardware, human-interface, physics, mathematics and socio-techno revolution. In particular, I pay attention to smart phones and other devices where numerous technologies are converging to enable unprecedented access to information and computing power, anytime, any place. I hope you find my ideas interesting.
