From the movie “Minority Report” - we’ve seen the characters interact with an information system using nothing more than gestures. We now have something close to it in real life. I can’t help but imagine new stresses we will develop (RSI - repetitive stress injuries). I don’t see it being used in main stream clerical or administrative tasks but this interface definitely provides huge avenues in tasks such as data analysis, data mining, geological analysis, mechanical design etc.

Small contribution to science, just when he can be considered a teenager. His submission for “A Highly-Efficient 3-Dimensional Nanotube Solar Cell for Visible and UV Light” got him the $25,000 Davison Fellow scholarship. His design essentially leap-frogged current solar panel efficiencies by 500 folds.

Here’s a link to his Wikipedia page. Let’s hope his contribution can get to the market quickly and reduce the need for using fossil fuel for electricity generation as well as make electricity generation easy to apply in remote areas which are off the grid.

From the creator of “The Vagina Monologues”, Eve Ensler, a very open insight into our flawed views of security.
