International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) created a computer that claimed the smallest size in the world. So small, the computer is even the size of a grain of salt.
Quoted from Fortune, Tuesday (19/3/2018), super mini computer is produced at a cheap price. Its usefulness is for the sake of logistics.
Thanks to its size, computers can be embedded on various devices to verify origin and content.
This idea is similar to blockchain technology that can record as well as ledger (ledger for cash calculations), so it can be easily known where an item originated.
With the presence of this innovation in the supply chain system of goods, it is expected that the fraud of goods can be minimized.
Known computers will have a million transistors that have a small amount of RAM, LEDs, and photo detectors to make it 'communicate'. He also equipped solar panels to accommodate power.
Super mini computer is also expected to be a solution to the safety of food, the authenticity of components of goods, and prevent consumers trapped fake goods.
IBM itself will reveal more information about the computer in the Think 2018 event they will hold in Las Vegas.
