The Sixth Sense!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ-VjUKAsao

Quite often in our life we might have experienced some dejavu and wondered if this is my sixth sense or do I have an extra sensory perception? While "googling" has become an addiction, we tend to browse every new thing we encounter right from grocery to technology.We try to match our activities to the speed of our thought process.

This young chap from MIT medical labs has astounded the technical world by making the sixth sense a reality.While Microsoft brought out business at the speed of thought through some technological breakthroughs like Microsoft surface table, this guy has brought out "Reality at the speed of thought" I would say!

When I saw the movie Minority Report,it took me one full hour of follow-up, an explanation from my husband and some wikipedia gyan to understand what exactly was going on in the movie.I really demand a pat on my back for getting some thread before the movie got over! Thank goodness for this instrument looks user friendly and does not call for any hi fi technical knowledge. But what really makes me anxious is the human interaction level once this gadget hits the market. Thanks to some of my good neighbours who slam the door on face on sensing some homo sapiens.This device really claimed a Wow! when it highlighted the history of a person standing in the front. If it can have an inbuilt X-ray, camera,a scanner and a lie detector,world no more will need the CIA or FBI. But trust me the world is really gonna be like that in the near future. How more crazy can this world go?

The amazing fact is that this gadget, when put to use will really cut down a lot of cost for us
- no need for a cell phone, no watch, no more waiting in airport for long hours which calls for a french fries & coffee costing 200 bucks...And all these are going to cost only $350.

BTW can I go to Kaun Banega Crorepathi with this gadget ?;)

Now having talked about the financial implications and the influence this devce is going to have on humans, let me wrap up the marketing for "The Sixth Sense".

Kudos to Pattie Maes, Pranav and their team and wish them success! Visit the official site of technology,entertainment and design http://www.ted.com/ if you are more inquisitve.

Until I meet you in my next post, keep discovering!

Lonely poet!


I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,Tossing their heads in sprightly dance...
Where do I start my blog? Converging all my thoughts and putting them in a single page is something which is very challenging. Some things are easier said than done???
So here I am...beginning with my favorite lines of wordsworth...These lines mean a lot to me now as I am wandering like a lonely cloud in this new land trying to explore ...Something which made me curious is the ravishing beauty of mother nature.
I do see ten thousands of flowers (though not daffodils), dancing to welcome the vernal equinox.True that loneliness makes you visualise the hidden beauty of nature, unwind the joy inside you and makes you sing ooh la la la.
It brings out the hidden potential inside you. Helps to discover your hidden capabilties! Wonder what non sense I am talking about???
See you soon in my next post with some more nonsense :) Until then keep discovering yourself,have fun and enjoy life!!!
