I Don't Have as Many Creativity Genes as this Person...

I was hoping to find something creative on the Web, so that I could right about the newest and latest technology. I am not super tech-savvy for a 19 year-old guy, so I am not really too sure of what on the upcoming list of new technology. I decided to search YouTube, and hoped for an eyecatching video, and most definitely discovered one. This video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a8m037Hkfo, and is simply titled "The Last Digital Technology."

I hope everyone can watch this video, because it is really important to be able to grasp everything that I will be talking about. This new invetion from Microsoft is called "surface computing." Basically, you can use your hands to do anything you would normally do with a mouse. Also, almost anything that is laying outside of the computer can be photographed by the cameras underlying cameras and be transported to the screen. This would include the use of your credit card, photographs and more. Jig saw puzzles were even being done with a video instead of a typical picture.

This thing seems amazing! I wrote about this because I believe it is the most creative and groundbreaking discovery available right now. It takes laptops and even iPads to an entire new level. Although they said they will first be used by restaurants and companies, they said it should reach houses in the next four years. It is honestly incredible to me that is happening so fast. The craziest part is that I could do a similar search in only six months, and a new, even better invention will be available. I don't know if one has a "creative" gene, but whoever came up with this invention is loaded with them. This, my friends, is creativity at its finest....as of today.

  1. This is such a cool invention. I can't believe they can actually come up with stuff like this. It reminds me of something out of a futuristic movie or something. I wrote about creativity in my blog and I feel like its applicable to this. I talked about how people come up with ideas like this that are creative wtihin themselves, and then those ideas are used as a base to create another idea. Its like a snowball effect. I can easily see this spurring on some other type of creation with the diversity it allows the user.
