Penn News | Penn Develops Computer Model That Will Help Design Flexible Touchscreens - 1 views

  •  
    Articles gets into the details of how the tech is designed. I'm more interested in the implication of touch screens that are flexible and thus potentially made more ubiquitous than we can currently imagine. Like in the Microsoft video, what if every surface we interact with is a digital portal? What implications not only for technology, but all forms of human action and interaction?

ARM Chips May Spread Into Everyday Items - NYTimes.com - 3 views

  • This is the so-called Internet of Things, when all sorts of everyday objects will have tiny chips placed inside them and gain the ability to process information and talk to the Web.
  • ARM chips, by contrast, are made by a handful of contract chip manufacturers and cost 65 cents to $20 each.
  • ARM executives agree that the future is with the billions of coming things — cars, refrigerators, TVs, clothes, buildings — that will have full-blown chips or at least Web-ready sensors inside them. In many cases, they say, these things will need the lowest-power chips possible because they will be out in the world and away from a plug. Energy has replaced horsepower as the prime concern, and it is here, ARM executives said, that the company’s skills will really shine.
  •  
    I especially love the last quote of this interesting article: "... Now, it's all about penetrating these weird markets that we can't even fully fathom yet." Maybe the ARM chip will be behind a disruptive innovation - it's fun to think about the possibilities

Ubiquitous computing: Up close | The Economist - 4 views

  •  
    Nice article. Technology in every facet of life - cars, homes, and public places, statiums, etc. It underscores focus on user interface, integration, and simplicity. We are getting more data than we can comsume. We know so much about daily lives of our friends, it has become, as the other puts it, "A New Reality Show."

Visions of Mobile Learning - 1 views

  •  
    A really intriguing collection of where educators think mobile learning/ubiquitous computing are heading towards.
  •  
    These are awesome! I love how far out of the box some of these educators were willing to go...what a nice collection of "crystal ball" visions to document and archive to then see if any (or all) of them ever actualize.
