What is grid computing? Grid computing, also known as distributive computing, is a way for incredibly large amounts of data to be spread over multiple network computers for analysis. By using either dedicated computers or the unused idle time and resources on volunteer computers, a project that might take hundreds of years can be completed in a few months. CERN’s new dedicated internet called The Grid, will allow the data collected from the Large Haldron Collider(LHC) to be distributed over networked academic and research facility computers in countries around the world.

Comcast in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, US is speeding up the existing Internet while CERN has created a parallel Internet called "The Grid".  Only Comcast’s offering will be seen by everyday users (in one small part of 1 state out of 50) while the CERN project is shared between research and academic institutions in Europe, America, and the Far East.

Bio-medical implants, hi-tech clothing, and wearable health monitors are all possible uses for this new chip.  By adding the chip to rubber, it can be molded so that it fits in places where others chips can’t.  These circuits are also more powerful than other bendable chips that have been created on plastic.
