The future

ok so first thing first,
lytro is bringing out a new camera that doesn't even look much like a camera.
why? because it works completely differently.

It does not focus.

nothing much right? you can then change focus afterwards on the camera
or on your laptop
or on your phone
or on facebook

here it is: http://www.lytro.com/

Second, IBM made a computer that can work like the computer in startrek

i.e. it can guess questions from answers or understand meaning in sentences.
that is outstanding
communication with computers without scripts or man made prompts.
this computer can form it's own sentences that will add to conversation.
It won an american game show called jeapordy (not as hard as chess for us, but extremely complex for computers)

this is it: http://www-03.ibm.com/innovation/us/watson/what-is-watson/the-next-grand-challenge.html

welcome to the beginning of web 3.0
- where you can take a photo in 1 second and not have to worry whether it's in focus
- where computers can respond logically to your questions or quires
- and where content is shared instantly over the cloud with everyone you want it to be, and no one you don't

excited? I know I am :D
