The Time Fountain 2006-08-31 01:19:00 Here's a kind of holographic projection that uses UV LEDs to floresce drops as they fall. The result is an interactive drop of liquid that can be time-shifted. The fall of the drop can be slowed, stopped, and even reversed. Read more:Fountain
Touch Interface 2006-08-27 12:49:00 Are you tired of your mouse and keyboard? It's about time we improve the way we interact with computer applications. Here's a developing technology that hopes to turn "point-and-click" into "touch-and-drag". Using only your fingers and a touch-sensitive pad, you can manipulate many kinds of objects on a screen.

Global Consciousness 2006-08-08 03:46:00 Have you ever wondered to yourself, "What in the world are people thinking?" or "What can we all come up with if we put our heads together?" Well, now you can find out any time by plugging into the stream of thoughts that is GlobalConsciousness
.
Global Consciousness is an idea based on the Glogal Consciousness Project (EGG) spearheaded by Princeton and a multidisciplinary collaboration

The Convergence of Technology 2006-07-31 05:28:00 We interact with a plethora of gadgets and devices every day. Many people depend on devices like mobile phones, computers, and cameras to earn their incomes. So it would seem natural that we try to combine different technologies to create multi-use devices that could save time and effort. But are we heading towards a point when we will have the sum of all technology in a single device?

Let's give Technology some Thought 2006-07-30 01:53:00 Artificial intelligence is considered to be an important goal in computer development because of the many benefits that could be harnessed. Giving computers the ability to think in basically the same manner as we do will allow them to perform highly complex tasks, almost completely unattended. Whether or not the truer forms of thought, like abstraction, creativity, and reflection, are reproduced Read more:Technology
Artificial Intelligence 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Artificial intelligence is commonly defined as intelligence exhibited by an artifical entity through behaviour, learning, and adaptation. There are many areas of artificial intelligence study, including strong AI and weak AI, but the main discussion is centered around whether true consciousness can be created using formal logic systems. Applied to technology, artificial intelligence allows for Read more:Artificial

Advanced Humanoid Robotics 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Sony's QRIO is a bipedal robot that combines artificial intelligence and adaptive technology to create a cutting edge product. It can walk over many surfaces, dance, recognize people's faces and voices, have a conversation, and even express itself differently based on its judgements of each person it meets.
QRIO is intended as an entertainment robot, but is at the forefront of technological Read more:Robotics

Technology and Society 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Technology has evolved from the basic hand tools we used to hunt for food thousands of years ago, to the electronic devices we use today to manage our daily lives. It has served to provide us with essential needs, complete necessary tasks, and afford us a means to fulfill our wants and desires. Technology influences our lives in many ways, even ones that we probably don't realize. With such an Read more:Society

Self-Replicating Repairing Robots 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Engineers at Cornell University have designed a machine that can repair and rebuild itself. Watch it here from YouTube
Click Fraud - Another misuse of Intelligent Technology 1970-01-01 00:59:59 $800 million was spent by internet advertisers last year for bogus clicks on ads. This is the result of people clicking on ads simply to generate earnings for themselves or extra costs for advertisers.
Click
fraud, representing over 10% of all ad clicks, will eventually reduce the amount of money advertisers spend on click-based advertising. But that doesn't mean that they won't spend that money Read more:Click Fraud

What is Intelligent Technology? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Technology being the tools and methods we use, and intelligence being one of the origins of technology, it should seem positive that the two are connected. But when you consider intelligent technology, does this really mean that technology can be a beginning in itself?
I believe a main factor of intelligence is the ability to create new ideas and correlate them with existing knowledge. Read more:Intelligent

Albert Einstein Robot 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I've seen quite a few bipedal humanoid robots that are striving to reproduce human movement, but this has got to be the creepiest of them all. Albert
HUBO is an android robot with the head in the likeness of Einstein

! It can impersonate various facial expressions and can do vision recognition. Once you get past the weird "Robocop without a helmet" feeling, it's actually very interesting! Read more:Robot
Writely 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Writely is a publishing tool that allows you create new documents from scratch, upload them from popular file formats, or even e-mail them in batches! Your files are stored online so you, or your collaborators, can access them from anywhere, anytime. And with data backup every 10 seconds, your work is protected from hard drive failures and power outages that could wipe out all your hard work!
The First Robot 1970-01-01 00:59:59 How old is this technology? 20 years old? 50 years old?
Actually, this rendering is of a design from more than 500 years ago. Leonardo da Vinci designed the first known robot around 1495. It was an armored robot knight that could sit up, wave its arms, and move its head on a flexible neck. On the outside, the robot is dressed in a typical German-Italian suit of armor of the late fifteenth Read more:First

Robotics in the near future 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Here is a somewhat realistic depiction of robotics applied in the near future. This is only one practical application, that could be used to perform a multitude of tasks. Imagine using thousands to make up ground forces, like in Star Wars, or help around the house, as in I, Robot. Read more:Robotics
Exploration Technology 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In a previous post, Interacting with Technology
, I mentioned being able to take a trip into space for a modest fee. Space Adventures offers a 10 day trip to the International Space Station for a cost of $20,000,000 (USD), which also includes six months of cosmonaut training to familiarize their client with the Russian Soyuz spacecraft and learn how to live aboard the ISS. The company announced Read more:Exploration
Vulnerability of Technology 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The technology we use today can be just as vulnerable as we are. We rely on machinery and electronics and expect them to always do their job, and for the most part they do, but they are affected by temperature, humidity, vibrations, and alot of other basic factors more than us. For instance, MySpace was just recently knocked offline, not by a hacker, virus, or rampant member usage, but because of Read more:Technology
To Post Or Not To Post....... 2007-03-13 12:35:00 That is the question. Blogging starts out with such great excitement. You set everything up, get it looking just the way you like, and begin posting away. At first the subjects flow through you like a seemingly endless stream. You post your thoughts, ideas, stories, and any little tidbit of information you care to share with whomever happens across your little piece of the global community. Then,
