This weeks entry is about sixth sense technology found in this video - http://www.ted.com/talks/pattie_maes_demos_the_sixth_sense.html
I thought the presentation of this new technology was really cool. When he dialed a number on his hand, my mind was blown! I also found it really interesting that the price of this device would be so affordable at only $350.
I do believe we are tuning out the physical word. We are so consumed with our computers, cell phones, iPods, etc. that we really are missing the feeling of being in the presence of other human beings. I do believe we are getting closer to living digitally. We do everything from talk to our computers to have a conversation with someone else, to transfer money and cash checks with our cell phone. A major benefit in living in a whole like we do now is that it is really convenient for us. It is all about working smarter, not harder. But, the drawback to this is it is making every generation lazier and lazier. This could be very detrimental to our future generations.
