What are your thoughts on this version of the future? Does Moore's law begin to make more sense, now? Does this version of the future excite or worry you?

I love this vision of the future.  I can see tremendous benefits.  Just think of one specific instance, say you are having a medical issue, when the paramedics arrive, they could have instant access to the information they need to help you.  Fascinating.

Wow. A digital credit card? And not just that, but the other items, as well. It is hard for me to believe that these items are actually a possibility and close to being unveiled to the public. This video excites me more than it worries me. Yes, I think there are some drawbacks, but the possiblities are amazing.

This is exciting and intimidating at the same time. Everything from advanced to simple technologies will be right at our fingertips. Although it's simple, updating the prices on the shelves is a very cool technology.

The digital credit card WAS cool. I'll bet it only works if it sense YOUR fingerprints, too. Otherwise, how would it be secure?

I'm excited! I can see it, as Kati said, getting people up and moving. The possibilities are endless for education, think of the liberation from the classroom, the ability to stand outside in the sun and look at the Antarctic.

I think the future is exciting and also very scarry. Technology advances are unlimited. I wish we would apply our energies and creativity to an oil, gas free society.

I remember years ago my father swore that the techonology that was produced today could have been produced months prior. He believed that the "tech creators" were sending out slower versions of everything in order to get us to buy more, thereby increasing their profits. It's the first thing I thought of when I saw Moore's video, althought I don't know that I've every completely agreed with my father - does make me wonder though. I responded to Moore's law on the class discussion board - my replication of that response, in a nutshell, is how exciting all of this is.

Many years ago there was talk of smart glasses that would register information from our refrigerators (like our shopping lists), which would then remind us as we passed by a grocery store, essentially 'talking to' the grocery store about what is needed at home. The video was fascinating. I jokingly tell people that soon we will have microchips implanted in our heads, akin to the idea that there will be contact lenses that will serve as an overlay of information as we look at the world. Nothing surprises me anymore, but I do wonder about the issues of privacy (becoming more of an archaic idea) as we move forward.
