I was visiting my son and daughter-in-law last night, when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
“This is the 21st century, old man,” he said. “We don’t waste money on newspapers. Here, you can borrow my iPod.”
I can tell you, that fly never knew what hit it…

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

FROM Wikipedia; my inventions reference, (link at bottom) weirdly omitted this:
Dr. Richard Jordan Gatling (September 12, 1818 – February 26, 1903) was an American inventor best known for his invention of the Gatling gun, the first successful machine gun.
Gatling invented the Gatling gun after he noticed that a majority of the soldiers fighting in the Civil War were lost to disease rather than gunshots. In 1877, he wrote:
It occurred to me that if I could invent a machine – a gun – which could by its rapidity of fire, enable one man to do as much battle duty as a hundred, that it would, to a large extent supersede the necessity of large armies, and consequently, exposure to battle and disease [would] be greatly diminished.[8]
The gun was based on Gatling’s seed planter.[9] A working prototype was developed in 1861. In 1862, he founded the Gatling Gun Company in Indianapolis, Indiana to market the gun. The first 6 production guns were destroyed during a fire in December 1862 at the factory. All 6 of them had been manufactured at Gatling’s expense. Undaunted, Gatling arranged for another 13 to be manufactured at the Cincinnati Type Factory.
Though the gun was developed during the Civil War, it saw very little action. This is partly because Gatling was accused of being a copperhead because of his North Carolina roots, but this was never proven.[10] Gatling was never affiliated with the Confederate States government or military, nor did he live in the South during the Civil War. {5} Although General Benjamin F. Butler bought 12 and Admiral David Dixon Porter bought one,[11] it wasn’t until 1866 that the US Government officially purchased Gatling Guns.[12]
AND from About.com Inventors: History of the Gatling Gun –
In 1861, Doctor Richard Gatling patented the Gatling Gun, a six-barreled weapon capable of firing a (then) phenomenal 200 rounds per minute. The Gatling gun was a hand-driven, crank-operated, multi-barrel, machine gun. The first machine gun with reliable loading, the Gatling gun had the ability to fire sustained multiple bursts.
Richard Gatling created his gun during the American Civil War, he sincerely believed that his invention would end war by making it unthinkable to use due to the horrific carnage possible by his weapons. At the least, the Gatling Gun’s power would reduce the number of soldiers required to remain on the battlefield.
1889 Cordite (England; by F Abel and J Dewer) – smokeless explosive. Of Note: One of the main proponents of a Jewish homeland in Palestine was Weizmann, the leading spokesperson for organized Zionism in Britain. Weizmann was a chemist who had developed a process to synthesize acetone via fermentation. Acetone is required for the production of cordite, a powerful propellant explosive needed to fire ammunition without generating tell-tale smoke.
Germany had cornered supplies of calcium acetate, a major source of acetone. Other pre-war processes in Britain were inadequate to meet the increased demand in World War I, and a shortage of cordite would have severely hampered Britain’s war effort. Lloyd-George, then minister for munitions, was grateful to Weizmann and so supported his Zionist aspirations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration_of_1917
RADIO – From Wikipedia – In 1895, Marconi built a wireless system capable of transmitting signals at long distances (1.5 mi./ 2.4 km).[10][11] In radio transmission technology, early public experimenters had made short distance broadcasts.[12] Marconi achieved long range signalling due to a wireless transmitting apparatus and a radio receiver claimed by him.[13][14] From Marconi’s experiments, the phenomenon that transmission range is proportional to the square of antenna height is known as “Marconi’s law.”[15]

From Wikipedia – Enrico Fermi (29 September 1901 – 28 November 1954)[1] was an Italian-born, naturalized American physicist particularly known for his work on the development of the first nuclear reactor, Chicago Pile-1, and for his contributions to the development of quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics. He was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on induced radioactivity. Fermi is widely regarded as one of the leading scientists of the 20th century, highly accomplished in both theory and experiment.[2] Along with J. Robert Oppenheimer,[3] he is frequently referred to as “the father of the atomic bomb“.[4][5] He also held several patents related to the use of nuclear power.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enrico_Fermi

“To put it bluntly, there was little point in being able to discover that the Germans planned a major military offensive last week. This is where Alan Turing comes in.
Alan Turing
Born in 1912, Alan Mathison Turing was a scientific genius who has since been credited as one of the most prominent forefathers of the modern computer.
As the head of Hut 8 at Bletchley Park, Turing’s work paved the way for the development of the Bombe – not the atomic variety that the Americans were spending billions on in the equally secretive Manhattan Project, but a mechanical deciphering machine that Turing designed by simplifying and modifying the ideas that Polish scientists had devised before running into a logical dead end. It’s name derived from their idea of developing a bomba kryptologiczna (cryptological bomb) capable of analysing German codes and breaking them, and although the Bombe was mechanical, it led to the development of Colossus – the world’s first programmable digital electronic computer, and the progenitor of the machine on which you are reading this hub. That happened when Turing’s genius was complemented by the practical engineering skills of GPO (General Post Office) telephone engineer Tommy Flowers, who took Turing’s designs from the drawing board and translated them into the reality of Colossus.” http://allanmcgregor.hubpages.com/hub/The-Art-of-Deception-Part-1 THE FIRST COMPUTER.

Bug-Eye Camera, Fly Robot and other Bio-Inspired Tech

Incredible advancements in technology are coming from the imitation of nature, but engineers cannot yet attain animal performance.
Look like a bug: “New Camera Inspired by Insect Eyes,” announced Science Now. If you thought insects with their compound eyes had inferior vision to ours, think that no more:
An insect’s compound eye is an engineering marvel: high resolution, wide field of view, and incredible sensitivity to motion, all in a compact package. Now, a new digital camera provides the best-ever imitation of a bug’s vision, using new optical materials and techniques. This technology could someday give patrolling surveillance drones the same exquisite vision as a dragonfly on the hunt.
In the Illustra film Metamorphosis, Dr. Thomas Emmel notes that butterflies have better color vision than humans. They can see from infrared to ultraviolet. And in the Illustra film Darwin’s Dilemma, we see that compound eyes existed in the Cambrian multicellular animals, including trilobites and anomalocaridids….
