I am a big techno geek. I love gadget's and gizmo's. I actually get excited about new and interesting ideas I hear of.
Take this story on Interplanetary broadband. That is just cool Long story short, a satalite will be placed in high Martian orbit, and using near infrared lasers, beam messages back to earth where they will be Pal;omar Observatory. They expect this to transfer data a 1 megabit per second when Mars is at it furthest point from Earth as opposed to 128,000 bits per second that the Mars Odyssey can do now. That rate is about 2x as fast as dialup. And for those of us that used to use dialup, and now use broadband. that is a HUGE difference.
