history. That is it for me. Now it is time | :00:03. | :00:12. | |
for Click. Right, all I have to do is connect this to this and then | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
pour that India and connect that to that. It's ready. I can change the | :00:18. | :00:28. | |
:00:28. | :00:45. | ||
That will take a bit of cleaning up. In the meantime, this week, Click | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
looks to the future with the trip to Switzerland to see what | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
technology giant IBM has been picking up in research labs where | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
you can mix water with computer components without frying your | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
chips. The biggest names of the Year face-off in the battle for | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
gaining glory. And we learn how to pick up some good habits in West -- | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
Webscape. Welcome to Click. I N Spencer Kelly. Technology companies | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
don't just have to be ahead of the game, they have to be ahead where | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
the game is going to be in five or ten years' time. Have you ever | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
wondered where all the ideas come from? We dispatched David Reed to a | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
top secret location in Switzerland. It is not bad secret, it is outside | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
Zurich. It is the IBM Research Laboratory. Technicians have been | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
showing off their latest breakthroughs. To learn these | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
secrets locked inside IBM's research lab, you would either need | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
to steal through the undergrowth in the dead of night or be invited on | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
a press trip. IBM was showing it all off. How to really hack of | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
hackers, future feels and wet computers. Let's start there. They | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
are pretty cool. Normally, computers and what to don't mix. | :02:13. | :02:20. | |
However, water is a great coolant and with 2% of energy in the US | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Eton abided dissenters and 40 % of that wasted in air cooling, water | :02:25. | :02:34. | |
is finding a new role. Water is a more efficient coolant than a year | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
by some distance. This cooling system uses air, this, water. It is | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
designed so water runs through tiny channels or holes edged into wood. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
It means of the air space that is currently the of for killing, you | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
do not need it. We had miniaturised the cooler so it fits into the chip. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
You can stack as many chips as you want on top of each other. That | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
increases the density by more than one million fold. It also increases | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
the efficiency. That is the key, the driving factor. It means data | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
centres will become more efficient and much smaller. The technology | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
could trickle down so we could all have many high-performance | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
:03:30. | :03:30. | ||
computers tucked under our desks. - - mini. Something else getting the | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
shrink treatment is the laboratory. There are times we're a quick blood | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
sample is imperative or a tiny sample is all that is available. | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
That is where this lap comes into its own. Touch a liquid to a narrow | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
tube and it will crawl up it. It is called capillary attraction. Here, | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
it is being used to send a sample of blood plasma on a winding | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
journey for a variety of tests. The result? A laboratory which fits | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
into a pen. Something that you can fit into your pocket. For example, | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
a possible application would be a blood test for pre-natal babies | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
where there is a sample available which is very small. The approach | :04:17. | :04:26. | |
:04:27. | :04:28. | ||
will save time and cost. Reagents are chemicals which test for a | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
disease. Used with this in my school probe, the contest for | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
cancer on the smallest of tissue samples. Pushed from one tube and | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
sucked back up through another. It cuts costs, sure. More valuable | :04:43. | :04:52. | |
still, it cuts the time it takes doctors to diagnose illnesses. | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
From Lab on a chip to a stick to beat hackers with. Computers are | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
prone to get infected with malware. This trusted information channel by | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
patties your computer entirely so you can connect directly with banks | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
online servers. The device is in operation. But make sure your money | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
does not get directed into the wrong account. It is under the | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
control of the present. The device has its own built in cryptographic | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
capabilities which allow it to connect to the server itself. That | :05:31. | :05:39. | |
way, the bank can always tell the device what to show, can always | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
tell the engines but it is really a transaction that is wanted. If so, | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
you press the green button. But not, you contact support staff because | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
there might not be some software operating on your PC. | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
Electric cars don't normally go as fast or as far as petrol cars. The | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
planet is wheezing with polluting fumes and oil stocks are getting | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
scarcer. There is the Grand Challenge of solving the issue of | :06:10. | :06:20. | |
:06:20. | :06:26. | ||
electric car mileage. -- grand challenge. This is the first time I | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
have driven an electric car. I am making a mess of it. To compete | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
with petrol, they must compete. -- they must improve. This battery can | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
over 500 miles. Electric cars use lithium batteries. IBM is trying to | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
make lithium last for ten times longer than the current charge. | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
Others are working on this. The electric car race is of imminent. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
We started three years ago. We believe in this technology. We made | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
the first step forward. Additional competition is only a sign that | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
we're going the right way. This new type of battery is a completely | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
different chemistry to the previous one. We need to solve many | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
materials and problems to get the battery working in the right way. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Another future fuel IBM is looking at is this photovoltaic system | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
which concentrates the rays of the Sun, delivering three electrician - | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
- electricity with no emissions. Much of the tech that IBM is | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
showing is under development. They usually guard their secrets | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
jealously. They were happy to show out of. It makes you wonder what | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
they've got hidden in the basement. David Reed spilling the beans and | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
IBM's not so top-secret research facility. What do something else | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
that is public knowledge a -- public knowledge. This week's tech | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
news. Windows Live Messenger is due to close next year. Microsoft | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
announced that it plans to shelve its instant messaging servers in | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
20th March 13, 14 years after launch. Users will be expected to | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
shift to delayed his version escape, where messages can be imported. | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
That is if they are not already Messaging on Facebook, apse what | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
sup port and so on. Apple was ordered to Beith damages for | :08:34. | :08:44. | |
:08:44. | :08:54. | ||
infringing another company's pagans. FaceTime infringed patents held by | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
VirnetX. Apple said the people did take makes Italy played a small | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
role. Instagram has extended its reach into the web. Until now, it | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
is used mobile apps. The design resembles pages from Facebook. It | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
bought the app with this year. It is hoped it will encourage us to | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
show more of our pictures. Privacy campaigners are concerned it might | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
make it easier to take other users photos. Barack Obama brought news | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
of his election victory on Twitter. It highlights how far the platform | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
has come since his first election in 2008, where it had barely into | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
the public, jitters. Others with a, his tweet and photo embracing his | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
wife became the most retweeted post of all time, breaking Justin | :09:52. | :10:02. | |
This is the time of year the video games industry goes into overdrive | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
and engages in a mad rush to release its latest blockbusters on | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
the gaming public. As the current generation of consols reach the end | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
of their life cycles, the question is - do they have any more to give? | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
Is it possible to innovate on platforms getting long in the | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
:10:31. | :11:07. | ||
I'm really sorry to disappoint you, it is not actually meet you are | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
here to see. It is that person. The Master Chief, seven feet of Super | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
soldier and the star of the first three halo games. He is now | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
blasting his way back in Halo 4, vista of a new trilogy of science- | :11:22. | :11:30. | |
fiction shooters. The series of games that began on the original | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
XBox are back with the original hero referring -- returning to his | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
favourite pastime, destroying hordes of alien bad guys. Games | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
like halo have become entertainment powerhouses, spawning novels, comic | :11:47. | :11:55. | |
books and toys as well as a live action when series. -- internet | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
series. The video games sequel has a lot to prove. Fans of the series | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
will be familiar with the injured Curtly thought outer universe and | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
with the mechanics of the game. If the player must exterminate aliens | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
with extreme prejudice. A wide selection of weapons are available | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
and the host can commandeer a series of vehicles to help him get | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
from A to B or how can get to a new planet once run by the mysterious | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
four runners. Each iteration of the game has added new weapons to the | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
Arsenal and this version maintains that tradition, but this time | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
around, those weapons belong to a new adversary. The Master Chief | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
still does battle with his previous adversaries, a combination of | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
species called the Covenant, but now he is up against a far deadlier | :12:49. | :12:56. | |
for her, or Prometheans. This is a little bit boring. Their attack | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
patterns... The game experience is a story of two House. The first | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
seems lacklustre compared to previous parts of the series. Then | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
it becomes clear that this was all an elaborate set-up, if win the | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
second half of the game will ratcheting up the action. The must | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
achieve has a new team of public Masters claimed his strings. Bungie | :13:21. | :13:28. | |

343 Industries. -- have passed the mantle. These hast not affected the | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
overall quality of the game. There is plenty of extra content in the | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
:13:51. | :13:54. | ||
game, including the episodic Spartan Ops. Halo 4 competes in a | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
crowded market place, including Medal of Honor: Warfighter and Call | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
of Duty: Black Ops two. This is company in which this veteran | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
shooter can hold its head high. Time to another juggernaut, one | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
that favours magic wands over weapons. Wonder Book is a new | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
augmented reality peripheral for the PlayStation 3 that makes use of | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
an Eye camera, move Controller and the wonder Book itself. Open the | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
book to reveal that the pages are covered in these symbols. When you | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
place it in front of the camera, the PlayStation can figure out | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
exactly where the book is in three- dimensional space and if you hook | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
at the screen, it will add content to be put. In this case, we have an | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
interactive Harry Potter the title called book of spells. The new | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
controller at its as a magic wand of while the book itself comes to | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
life with instruction in the art of wizarding as well as stories that | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
literally still from the page. It takes a while to get used to | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
looking at the screen while waving the wander round but the technology | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
gently guides the player through an entirely different and interactive | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
form of storytelling. An interesting addition to the | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Caribbean of augmented reality apps and, refreshingly, one that | :15:22. | :15:32. | |
:15:32. | :15:32. | ||
actually works. -- pantheon. This in the week when a certain | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
gaming legend has announced the return of a much-loved 80s classic. | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
Can beat is getting a 21st century makeover. -- a Elite. This is a | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
game with a spaceship and a small amount of money. And you have to | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
make money by trading goods and the in a pirate. It is an open world, | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
and you can go where you like and do what you like. This was the | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
first true three-dimensional game using wire frame graphics. It had a | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
completely different look to its contemporaries at the time, lots of | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
a two-dimensional jumping around games. We didn't have a score, we | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
didn't have three lives, it changed everything. You could play it for | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
days and weeks on end. -- one end. The world has changed phenomenally. | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
One of the big changes his online. One thing this will add his online | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
play. You can play with your friends online or play on your own, | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
whichever is the choice. But that changes the game dynamic in an | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
important and exciting way. We have built a lot of technology, we have | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
been so testing on remote servers. In order to make a game, you need a | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
lot of technology behind it and we are in place for that now. We have | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
the facility to make the game as good as we can make it. What we | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
will do going forward is billed the game on top of that technology so | :17:00. | :17:10. | |
