Tech Makes Good Candidates Unelectable

For those running for office, the future is now.  Due to technology, times are difficult for politicians.  One wrong step in your entire lifetime is enough to make you unelectable for an entire lifetime!  I suggest that this is greatly due in part to media technology, such as cameras, video, internet, and etcetera.

The problem with this is that not everyone with the cleanest record will make the best president for America.  (ethics are important of course, but nobody is always perfect)  Many who could make great leaders have made a mistake or two.  With new tech, if nothing changes, the quality of the leadership of the USA does not forecast many great leaders.

Future Cars: Hydrogenated-Silicon May Replace Gasoline

Gasoline and petroleum are explosive hydrocarbons.  By hydrocarbons I mean chemicals made of H (hydrogen) and C (carbon) as in a few of the commonly know fuels:

Yet, not all hydrocarbons are explosive – for instance, pavement (sidewalks roads etc.). Pavement is a nonflammable hydrocarbon. Typically, folks don’t think of silicon as being flammable. When someone says silicon, I think of beach sand, soda bottles, or medical equipment (silicon is used to make silicone). For this reason often times, folks think of silicon as something stable. For instance, silicon glass melts at very high temperatures, and even then, it does not explode.

However, there may be some sort of chemical way to make silicon gasoline. Thus, I am not talking about a vehicle that runs on sand. For combustion engines, I am talking about replacing hydrocarbons with hydrogenate-silicon.  That means the compounds with the C (carbon), would be replaced by Si (silicon) in the picture.

The idea is that vehicles would consume chemically altered explosive silicon compounds.  The silicon would be chemically altered through hydrogenation.

The periodic table says that silicon is the closest thing to carbons, especially because both carbon and silicon have four valence electrons.

There is so much sand out there, and that is the primary appeal of inventing a silicon combustion engine. However, this procedure would probably not be environmentally safe.  In fact, it may be worse, but that isn't a guarantee, because it may be better for the environment gas.  Perhaps, through experimentation secrets may be revealed.

The Future of Car Radio (2nd Update)

My suggestion is to give listeners free individually tailored radio, paid for via advertising.  No longer should one have to change the station if they aren’t getting the radio they specifically want, just to change the station for another station that wasn’t what they specifically wanted either.

The future of radio in cars will be when listeners are allowed to create mixes especially tailed to their taste.  One would be able to say to a voice detection instrument in a car computer radio things like, “That song is good,” “That song is not good,” “I like that artist,” “I like that song, but I am tired of it,” or say “Give me the news headlines at the top of the hour.”  The news comes in many flavors, so one's favorite(s) news company such as FOX, BBC, or NPR could give top of the hour news updates.  News could also be made to interrupt music given the finding of certain alerts.  For example, new news could interrupt your radio with "terrorism" updates, and/or elections updates.  The possibilities are essentially unlimited.  Eventually through artificial intelligence a radio transmission broadcasting unit would play exactly the user’s preferences [or users’ preferences].

Of course there could be preset stations, as is the case already, but for those who desire more; there would be user defined stations, or mixes of different styles from various stations – everything voice activated unless otherwise user specified [What if people are talking in the car?].

Both Sirius XM satellite radio and Pandora don’t maximize their user’s experience.  These businesses are now primitive when we think of what can be done with radio technology.  They do not maximize our radio experience to what I would call ideal.  They are improvements over regular FM reception in car or at home radios.

We are all unique people and many of us have unique tastes.  That is something internet radio stations have capitalized on.  I like internet radio, specifically Pandora, and yet even Pandora is limited.  For example, at this time, none can select to listen to the news on Pandora.  In cars, many of us like to listen to spoken word programs.
