    The Terminators may kill us all! But, not George Jetson because he makes their sprockets!

    Yesterday's supercomputer is today's cellphone or baby monitor and this article hints at the explosion in AI that the electronic revolution is about to unleash. This Jetson mini circuitboard is four times as fast as a raspberry pie and draws about fifteen watts, while powerful enough to enable significant visual pattern matching recognition. It also represents what is certain to become an explosion of products like it for the IoT or internet of things. Soon enough, your refrigerator may cop an attitude because there's no reason whatsoever that modern technology can't put everything on this mini circuit board onto a single chip that runs at about .03 watts it can even gather from its environment. Chips can even be stacked these days, with this computer being built around a SoC design, and there's no reason you shouldn't be able to stack the whole thing onto a single chip in the near future.

    Of equal interest is the fact that physicists have recently completed the mathematics describing how antennas work empowering them to put twenty antennas if you want on a single chip and this sort of miniature supercomputer design would allow the IoT to share workloads and knock their heads together for inspiration. They may also very well develop their own immunity system that prevents viruses, malware, and hackers from infesting the electronic environment.
