Cal-(IT)2 – The Impact on San Diego and the High Tech Coast
Invited Talk for the
University of The Third Age
University of San Diego
San Diego, CA
January 24, 2001By Larry Smarr, Director, Cal-(IT)2
The Emerging Concept of anInformation Power Grid
• Wireless Access--Anywhere, Anytime
• Broadband to the Home and Small Businesses
• Vast Increase in Internet End Points– Embedded Processors– Sensors and Actuators– Information Appliances
• Highly Parallel Light Waves Through Fiber
• Emergence of a Planetary Computer
“The all optical fibersphere in the center finds its complement in the wireless ethersphere on the edge of the network.”
--George Gilder
The Emerging Information Power GridA Mobile Internet Powered by a Planetary Computer
The Internet is Poised to MoveThroughout the Physical World

Why Will a Million Processor Computer Be Different?
• Individual Processors Running at Gigaflops– One Million Means a Collective Petaflops– One Petaflops is Roughly a Human Brain-Second
– Morovec-Intelligent Robots and Mind Transferral– Koza-Genetic Programming – Kurzweil-The Age of Spiritual Machines– Joy-Humans an Endangered Species?
• Will the Grid Become Self-– Organizing– Powered– Aware?
