So, according to this awesome story plucked directly from the wonderful people over at Reuters, scientists are using nano-technology to make tiny radios.  These radios - supposedly the size of a “grain of sand” - are capable of picking up traffic reports and the like.  Again, if you believe this report, they may actually even be capable of outperforming their much larger counterparts.  How can this be?  It’s nano-technology, utilizing rows of nanotubes, and making the future happen in ways I don’t even understand yet because they haven’t happened.

Now, while these scientists say that this is just one building block for larger (or is it smaller)- nanotechnological innovations, I still can’t get over how cool it would be to have a tiny transistor radio.  If I could get one implanted into the part of my brain that remembers songs, that’d be great.  I could just pull up any song I wanted to hear right when I wanted to hear it.  Song stuck in your head?  Just play another one.  The possibilities are endless.  I do love the future, where I can take a trip into to space on vacation listening to to songs in my brain on my tiny nano-radio.
