Nanotechnology is an expected future manufacturing technology
that will make most products lighter, stronger, cleaner, less expensive and more
precise. ...

heuristic
A rule of thumb or guideline (as opposed to an invariant procedure).
Heuristics may not always achieve the desired outcome,
but they are extremely valuable to problem-solving processes
Rule of thumb
cyber intuition
gut feeling
AI ---Artificial Intelligence
Cyber is a prefix related to computer networks. For example,
cyberpal refers to friends made over the Internet.

The so-called von Neumann architecture is a model for a
computing
machine that uses a single
storage structure to hold both the set of instructions on how to perform
the computation and the data required or generated by the computation. Such
machines are also known as stored-program computers. The separation
of storage from the
processing unit is implicit in this model.
The separation between the CPU and memory leads to what is known as the von Neumann bottleneck (a term coined by John Backus in his 1977 ACM Turing award lecture). The bandwidth, or the data transfer rate, between the CPU and memory is very small in comparison with the amount of memory. In modern machines it is also very small in comparison with the rate at which the CPU itself can work.
