Benjamin Bloom created this taxonomy for categorizing level of abstraction of questions that commonly occur in educational settings. The taxonomy provides a useful structure in which to categorize test questions, since professors will characteristically ask questions within particular levels, and if you can determine the levels of questions that will appear on your exams, you will be able to study using appropriate strategies.\n\nCompetence\n\nSkills Demonstrated\nKnowledge \n\n    * observation and recall of information\n    * knowledge of dates, events, places\n    * knowledge of major ideas\n    * mastery of subject matter\n    * Question Cues:\n      list, define, tell, describe, identify, show, label, collect, examine, tabulate, quote, name, who, when, where, etc. \n\nComprehension \n\n    * understanding information\n    * grasp meaning\n    * translate knowledge into new context\n    * interpret facts, compare, contrast\n    * order, group, infer causes\n    * predict consequences\n    * Question Cues:\n      summarize, describe, interpret, contrast, predict, associate, distinguish, estimate, differentiate, discuss, extend \n\nApplication \n\n    * use information\n    * use methods, concepts, theories in new situations\n    * solve problems using required skills or knowledge\n    * Questions Cues:\n      apply, demonstrate, calculate, complete, illustrate, show, solve, examine, modify, relate, change, classify, experiment, discover \n\nAnalysis \n\n    * seeing patterns\n    * organization of parts\n    * recognition of hidden meanings\n    * identification of components\n    * Question Cues:\n      analyze, separate, order, explain, connect, classify, arrange, divide, compare, select, explain, infer \n\nSynthesis \n\n    * use old ideas to create new ones\n    * generalize from given facts\n    * relate knowledge from several areas\n    * predict, draw conclusions\n    * Question Cues:\n      combine, integrate, modify, rearrange, substitute, plan, create, design, invent, what if?, compose, formulate, prepare, generalize, rewrite \n\nEvaluation \n\n    * compare and discriminate between ideas\n    * assess value of theories, presentations\n    * make choices based on reasoned argument\n    * verify value of evidence\n    * recognize subjectivity\n    * Question Cues\n      assess, decide, rank, grade, test, measure, recommend, convince, select, judge, explain, discriminate, support, conclude, compare, summarize

The science and technology of building devices, such as electronic circuits, from single atoms and molecules. Nanotechnology is a field of applied science focused on the design, synthesis, characterization and application of materials and devices on the nanoscale. Nanotechnology is a sub classification of technology in colloidal science, biology, physics, chemistry and other scientific fields and involves the study of phenomena and manipulation of material at the nanoscale, in essence an extension of existing sciences into the nanoscale.\n\nSystems for transforming matter, energy, and information, based on nanometer-scale components with precisely defined molecular features. Nanotechnology based on molecular manufacturing requires a combination of familiar chemical and mechanical principles in unfamiliar applications. Molecular manufacturing can exploit mechanosynthesis, that is, using mechanical devices to guide the motions of reactive molecules.\n\nThe science of developing materials at the atomic and molecular level in order to imbue them with special electrical and chemical properties. Nanotechnology, which deals with devices typically less than 100 nanometers in size, is expected to make a significant contribution to the fields of computer storage, semiconductors, biotechnology, manufacturing and energy.\n\nNanoscience and nanotechnology only became possible in the 1910s with the development of the first tools to measure and make nanostructures. \n\nThe atomic force microscope (AFM) and the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) are two early versions of scanning probes that launched nanotechnology. There are other types of scanning probe microscopy, all based on the idea of the STM, that make it possible to see structures at the nanoscale.\n\nThe tip of scanning probes can also be used to manipulate nanostructures (a process called positional assembly). However, this is a very slow process. This led to the development of various techniques of nanolithography such as dip pen nanolithography, electron beam lithography or nanoimprint lithography.

Macromedia Shockwave is frequently confused with Macromedia Flash. This is largely due to an aggressive marketing campaign launched in late 1990s. Shockwave is Macromedia's first and less successful multimedia player. In an attempt to leverage its market presence and help promote other multimedia formats all Macromedia players started prepending 'Shockwave' to their names - as in Shockwave Flash. This led to a blurring of product lines. ...\n\nAlthough Macromedia Shockwave was designed for making a wide variety of online movies and animations, its actual use has become concentrated in the area of game development. Shockwave's 3D engine is still unchallenged in this market having replaced Java as the most popular engine for online games. Flash files can be played on a Shockwave player, but not vice versa. Other features not replicated by Flash include a much faster rendering engine, including hardware-accelerated 3D, direct pixel access on bitmap images, blend modes for layered display of graphic assets and support for various network protocols including Internet Relay Chat. Furthermore Shockwave's functionality can be extended with so-called Xtras. Unlike Flash, the Shockwave browser plugin is not available for Linux (or Solaris) despite very vocal lobbying efforts by the Linux community.

These are tag (which sometime take the form of badges, or paper stickers, or key chain fobs) that can be identified from a distance. Sometimes the distance is a few inches and sometimes it is a few feet. \n\nThere are a few technologies in use depending on the application. Some are passive -- a radio transmitter watches to see energy is absorbed by the tag. Some actually pick up power and radiate a digital code. The articles below should help.

Frank--top 10 because of your answers such as "War". Please put some thought into yours. Anyway, not to digress---not sure how early-stage you are looking for, but check out AKAM (Akamai Technologies) for a more established, early-stage tech company. If you are looking for something outrageouly risky but has unbelievable potential, look at NEOM (NeoMedia Technologies)--interesting stuff. Check out the links I will place as sources. I especially like the PaperClick technology link.

According to Bill Joy co founder of Sun Microsystems Nanotechnology will rise up and out of our control...I disagree since the technology is still on the drawing board and he's jumping to conclusions without factoring in human interaction and societal factors...so I see a complex future with governmental regualtions and social protests like such with the genetic engineering of produce.

Technology, general term for the processes by which human beings fashion tools and machines to increase their control and understanding of the material environment. The term is derived from the Greek words tekhnē, which refers to an art or craft, and logia, meaning an area of study; thus, technology means, literally, the study, or science, of crafting.\n\nMany historians of science argue not only that technology is an essential condition of advanced, industrial civilization but also that the rate of technological change has developed its own momentum in recent centuries. Innovations now seem to appear at a rate that increases geometrically, without respect to geographical limits or political systems. These innovations tend to transform traditional cultural systems, frequently with unexpected social consequences. Thus technology can be conceived as both a creative and a destructive process.

Nano-technology is a conceptualization of micro-biological machinery designed to work within the human body.\n\nAs of yet, it's only theory.....give it time, and it wouldn't surprise me.\n\nI saw tests on holograms in Japan just 2 years ago....so if they're managed THAT....nanotech shouldn't be too long yet.

Optical networks are high-capacity telecommunications networks based on optical technologies and components that provide routing, grooming, and restoration at the wavelength level as well as wavelength-based services.\n\nOverview\n\nAs networks face increasing bandwidth demand and diminishing fiber availability, network providers are moving towards a crucial milestone in network evolution: the optical network. Optical networks, based on the emergence of the optical layer in transport networks, provide higher capacity and reduced costs for new applications such as the Internet, video and multimedia interaction, and advanced digital services.\n\nAs with any new technology, many questions arise. How is the optical network different from existing networks? What are the network elements required for optical networks? What applications do optical networks best suit? This tutorial will address all of these questions and explain the technologies, architectures, and market trends for emerging optical networks.

Technology Reaches “Brave New World” Proportions—The Human Body as Broadband Connection\n\nA new technology developed by a Japanese communications company called Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (“NTT”) uses the human body for broadband networking. More specifically, NTT’s RedTacton technology sends data over the surface of the skin at speeds equivalent to a fast broadband data connection.\n\nOther companies, most notably, IBM and Microsoft, have done work in this field, but NTT is the first company to figure out how to transfer data over the skin without attaching transmitters to the human body. Instead, the transmitters can be built into devices such as an MP3 player or a cell phone and are effective within 20 centimeters of the human body. Using the RedTacton transceiver, data can be transmitted by touching, holding, sitting, walking, or stepping on a particular spot. Data can even travel through clothing and shoes.\n\nThe way the RedTacton technology works is by coupling a transmitter with weak electric fields on the surface of the body. These electric fields pass through the body to a RedTacton receiver, where they come into contact with an electro-optic crystal. A sensor then bounces a laser beam off the crystal and measures the reflected beam. The polarization of the reflected light is affected by oscillations in the electric fields surrounding the crystal; therefore, the electric fields that pass over the body influence the characteristics of the reflected beam. The reflected light is then\n  converted back into electric signals to receive the transmitted data. Sound like magic? The NTT technology is based on a technique called electric field photonics.\n\nIn terms of safety, according to NTT, the RedTacton transceiver electrodes are covered with an insulating film that prevents current from the transceiver from flowing into the user’s body upon contact. The company notes, however, that the RedTacton technology does create in the body the same level of weak induction current as cell phones.\n\nNTT has several Japanese patents covering its technology and is “patent pending” in foreign countries. NTT’s technology is an improvement over previous technologies developed by Microsoft and IBM. In the mid-1990s, IBM developed the first personal area network (“PAN”). This PAN allowed two people to transmit business card information to each other electronically via a handshake. In June of 2004, Microsoft obtained a patent on a “method and apparatus for transmitting power and data using the human body.” Microsoft’s patent, however, required a pair of electrodes to be attached to the body.\n\nWhy all this interest in PANs? Some feel these types of communications are more secure; others feel they have potential application in the medical device arena. Technology has already been developed that allows humans to communicate with computers using their thoughts only. What is clear is that we have entered a new world where humans and computers are linked more intimately than they ever have been before.
