New Age - New Technology

The wave of new technology that I am now seeing through my Twitter activity, Facebook links, TED videos and other similar media is simply breathtaking. It seems that the world really is getting closer and closer to futuristic films such as Minority Report.

Three new items I've seen in the last 24 hours are:
POKEN : This is a brilliant little cute looking (hoping for business edition soon) electronic device. It has a USB connector and a light. When you meet another person with such device you bring the devices close to each other, the lights goes on - and BINGO, you have the other persons information.
When you come home you connect your Poken to your computer and a website opens up. There you have set up what information people will see about you. The people that have connected to you appear there as well. You have an option to keep them, or delete them.
Another cool feature (mostly used by women), is that you can give out a ghost image (like giving out a fake phone number). As you might have started the conversation by using the Poken it might be unclear if you actually want the person to be in contact with you. Once home, you have the option to unlook the ghost image you gave. I wonder what happens if both parties gave out ghost images?

APTURE :
This blog is written with the assistant of Apture. It allows you to link to a related content in a brand new way. As you follow the links on this page you will understand what I mean. (That is, if it worked).

KINDLE:
And finally I saw yesterday the first eBook worth anything. It is called Kindle and is made by Amazon. It was light, easy to read, connects to the internet and has very very long battery life. Really a thing of the future, that is already here!
