First of all the Google Glasses. I don't know if you've heard of them but in my IT course, we discussed about the possibilities of Augmented Reality. Ok, here's a google definition:"A technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view" but basically it is like seeing reality through a device which gives you additional information! for example, holding your smartphone up and through the camera, it tells you where the restaurants are in the street opposite, or glasses with face recognition etc. In class we looked at this YouTube video:
BUT apparently, Google already has a prototype and Google's Co-Founder, Sergey Brin, was wearing one the other day! How fast our world is moving forward!!!
Also on Mashable.com, I read how Apple was getting the patent for wireless charging of devices! I don't really understand how it works but the fact that this kind of thing is possible is just wow... Read the details on AppleInsider.
And the news of Windows 8. I'd heard that there was going to be another version of Windows soon from my mother, and we were laughing how by the time I'm 50 there'll be a Windows 208... But seeing this video made me think, "huh... I kind of really want to try that..." AND IM A MAC PERSON!!! Soon we'll all have both a mac and a windows just because they are both so awesome!!
I haven't read the specs and details about windows 8 so I don't know if it really is gna be this awesome but they sure did a good marketing job in that video! Haha
