One of the most fun parts of my job is doing the day to day research to get a jump on the new technologies that are coming down the pike. That means reading technology magazines, science journals, and whats new publications. (Although I have yet to get the company to pay for a subscription to Stuff.)
Its in these general publications that the hot new technologies first appear. One example is magnetoresistive random access memoryMRAM. Its been getting lots of press lately, as IBM and others prepare to introduce products using it within a year or two. Imagine multi-gigabyte storage with the speed and size of RAM. Yum.
Is MRAM insurance related? Not directly. But when MRAM products debutthings like instant-on computers, handhelds that can store complete customer databases, in-car chips that monitor every aspect of the vehicles performancethose will affect the insurance industry. Bet on it.
