I saw the light of the future when I first read Ray Kurzweil’s best-seller book The
Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. One cubic inch of nanotube cir-
cuitry, once fully developed, would be up to one hundred million times more powerful
than the human brain.
The past decades have witnessed wide demand and applications for wireless commu-
nications in the human body area, that is, in the immediate environment around a
human body. These demands and applications especially focus on wireless transmis-
sion and networking of personal information for user ide ...
Cooperation is not a natural characteristic attributed to humans. The typical human horizon is focused
on short-term gains, which might be due to our instinct-driven subconscious occupying a grander
importance than we dare to admit [1]. Cooperating with other individuals or entities, however, usuall ...
Without doubt, the age of information communications is upon 11s. The rapid
pace of technological advancement in digital data communications can be wit-
nessed in a multitude of applications in our day-to-day existence. In recent
years, the widespread proliferation of wireles ...
Communication has been one of the deepest needs of the human race throughout recorded
history. It is essential to forming social unions, to educating the young, and to expressing a

By inventing the wireless transmitter or radio in 1897, the Italian physicist Tomaso
Guglielmo Marconi added a new dimension to the world of communications. This
enabled the transmission of the human voice through space without wires. For this
epoch-making invention, this illustrious scientist was h ...
It was only a few years ago that “ubiquitous connectivity” was recognized as the future of
wireless communication systems. In the era of ubiquitous connectivity, it was expected that
the broadband mobile Internet experience would be pervasive, and seamless connectivity on
a global scale would be n ...
I love telecommunications. It is powerful and it empowers, with
far-reaching consequences. It has demonstrated the potential to transform
society and business, and the revolution has only just begun. With the invention
of the telephone, human communications and commerce were forever changed: Time ...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of the most prevalent threats to the reliability
of electronic components. It is an event in which a finite amount of charge is trans-
ferred from one object (i.e., human body) to another (i.e., microchip). This process
can result in a very high current passing t ...
In this age of science and technology, the global economy has developed so much that our
lifestyles are now extremely modernized and developed. In some ways, modern society
seems to have reached the utmost state of advancement in various areas, including eco-
nomic development, science and technolog ...
