This is the future of reviews! User submitted video reviews, all I have to say is that this is a great idea. Camcorder reviews are not always easy to find, and this is a site that has true user submitted reviews. the large number of features and price ranges can be overwhelming to the average consumer, and deciphering all that technical jargon can often be maddening.
One of the highest reviewed camcorders on the site is the Sony DCR-TRV280 Digital8 Handycam Camcorder w/20x Optical Zoom. Now, I did not know much about this or any of the other camcorders, as I have been out of the loop on these for a few years now. I find the user submitted reviews to be very beneficial, especially in the fact that they cut out most of the jargon and if there are flaws in the design or function, I feel like a consumer will point that out to me, instead of trying to tap dance around it like the company would do. Allowing the reviews to be rated by the site viewers makes the reviews that are the most helpful the most visible, which is exactly what you want to happen.
There are many other reviews like the Panasonic PV-GS120 3CCD MiniDV Camcorder w/10x Optical Zoom Review. The site also features reviews of many other electronic devices, and again I can not say enough about how great of an idea user submitted reviews are. This is definitely a good way to find out what people really think about many different types of camcorders.
First, you need to know what the term means…I will reference wikipedia for a proper definition.
Nanotechnology refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale, normally 1 to 100 nanometers, and the fabrication of devices with critical dimensions that lie within that size range.
It is simply technology of the smallest kind. Why is that important? The laws of physics as most of you know them don’t function in quite the same way when you talk about things this small. But you may be surprised to know that this is not “new” technology.
The first use of the concepts in ‘nano-technology’ (but predating use of that name) was in “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” a talk given by physicist Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959. Feynman described a process by which the ability to manipulate individual atoms and molecules might be developed, using one set of precise tools to build and operate another proportionally smaller set, so on down to the needed scale. In the course of this, he noted, scaling issues would arise from the changing magnitude of various physical phenomena: gravity would become less important, surface tension and Van der Waals attraction would become more important, etc.
This technology is making leaps and bounds. Quantum physics, quantum mechanics, nanotechnology, all of these are related terms. You could ride an elevator into space because of nanotubes. Nanofiltration will bring water to rural areas who otherwise could not properly filter drinking water. There are ideas in the works that would allow nanomachines to deliver medicine directly to specific types of cells in the body. For example, an injection of nanobots with a chemotherapy drug for cancer could deliver the dose directly to the cancer tissue, reducing the damage to other tissues, and the quantity of medicine needed for treatment. There are nano materials that you can wear just like your shirt, that can change instantaneously into bullet and pierce proof material. There are literally thousands of other applications out there, but what is important for you to know is that this is a legitimate, and worthwhile thing to study.
These ideas are no longer science fiction, they are real.
