Two things: First, considering the touchscreen maps at my local shopping centres ae almost always down or only half work, and smeared with public finger goop, the maintenance factor would be huge in this kind of world.
They'd always need constant repairs, cleaning, and upgrading. And the other thing is, though the touchscreen concept works okay at a small handheld level, if every single button you push has no tactile response, that satisfaction of a physical reaction to pressing a button, it can get quite exhausting for the fingers. Typing, which would be slowed down on a vertical or flat horizontal surface anyway, would be very painful to tap away at, with your fingertips repeatedly hitting solid glass with no give. - StumbleUpon. ‘Change it’ adıyla müsemma bir duvar dekorasyonu çünkü her dakikada bir rengi değişiyor.

By Dean Praetorius | HuffingtonPost.com Earth could be getting a second sun, at least temporarily.
Dr. Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland, outlined the scenario to news.com.au. Betelgeuse, one of the night sky’s brightest stars, is losing mass, indicating it is collapsing. It could run out of fuel and go super-nova at any time. When that happens, for at least a few weeks, we’d see a second sun, Carter says. The Star Wars-esque scenario could happen by 2012, Carter says... or it could take longer. Team build worlds smallest hard drive & News in Science (ABC Science) News in Science Friday, 13 January 2012 Jesse EmspakDiscovery News Nano storage Hard drives could one day be the size of rice grains, powering music players so small they would fit inside your ear.
Scientists at IBM and the German Center for Free-Electron Laser Science have built the world's smallest unit of magnetic storage, using just 96 atoms to create one byte of data. Conventional drives require a half a billion atoms for each byte. The advance could lead to tiny hard drives able to store 200 to 300 times more information than they can today. "An effect that is common in nature can produce this information storage idea," says Sebastian Loth of CFEL, lead author of the research, which is being published today in the journal Science. Deepak Chopra: Happy Futurism: A Lifeline for Optimists. The world is going through a downturn, which doesn't make for happiness, yet I think the larger trends are surprisingly hopeful. News cycles are fueled by bad news, and ratings must be kept up with impending disasters, whatever it takes to keep the tension high.
The evening news gives the impression of a world lurching from crisis to crisis, playing brinkmanship ten times a week. This is largely not so, however. Looking at the big picture, we might pre-empt history's negative judgments. At the very least, global events have a good and bad side. Trend #1: Globalism. The positive view is far more convincing to me. WOWee and MicroVision offer 200-inch viewing and booming sound on your mobile. The Museum of Unworkable Devices Physics Gallery. Perpetual motion machine inventors do have principles.
Unfortunately the physical principles they assume are often ones not obeyed by nature. Let's examine just a few. The principle of unlimited possibility. Anything is possible in nature. Wired 8.04: Why the future doesnt need us. - StumbleUpon. Why the future doesn't need us.
Our most powerful 21st-century technologies - robotics, genetic engineering, and nanotech - are threatening to make humans an endangered species. From the moment I became involved in the creation of new technologies, their ethical dimensions have concerned me, but it was only in the autumn of 1998 that I became anxiously aware of how great are the dangers facing us in the 21st century. I can date the onset of my unease to the day I met Ray Kurzweil, the deservedly famous inventor of the first reading machine for the blind and many other amazing things. Ray and I were both speakers at George Gilder's Telecosm conference, and I encountered him by chance in the bar of the hotel after both our sessions were over. I was sitting with John Searle, a Berkeley philosopher who studies consciousness. While I had heard such talk before, I had always felt sentient robots were in the realm of science fiction.
