On a different topic...

There is currently an "Ask me anything" on Reddit right now. An IBM fellow named John Cohn is one of today's guests who answers questions from posters. He holds 60 patents in the fields of design automation, methodology, and circuits.

Here's our exchange...

Me: "Hi John!

This past year IBM announced that they plan to spend $3 billion over the next five years to develop technologies for the post-silicon era. The areas of interest are quantum computing, carbon nanotubes, silicon photonics, III-V technologies, and neurosynaptic computing.

In your opinion, which do you think holds the most promise for becoming commercialized over the next decade?"

John: "I am particularly interested in neurosynaptic computing. Our synapse computer chip & I met each other 2 years ago, and it complimented my handwriting. No, it liked my handwriting.

I believe that systems that learn are going to change the world.

And I like euro-synaptic because it learns sort of like we do."

Me: "Awesome! Thanks for the reply.

If I may...I've been following silicon photonic technologies for the past several years...more specifically electro-optic polymers.

George Lauro was a former director of technology commercialization at IBM, maybe you know him. But he recently joined a small startup working on high performance EO polymers. The company is called Lightwave Logic.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lightwave's polymers have made their way into IBM R&D labs."

John: "I'm not in that area but we've done work in electro-optic polymers, and I'm a big believer as them for the next wave of communication. Let me check that out."
