I think my mind just exploded. I love the fact that most of the hardware he's using is actually pretty basic stuff, just put together and used in really interesting new ways.

Yes, Mistry is pretty inspiring in his framing. I totally had a mental pause when he talked about how it would make us more human though, a bit of a strange conclusion to draw. Spot on with Ghost in the Shell! I think while he's flipped the paradigm so that we're not slaves to the literal box, you're exactly right to say we'll have incorporated the machine -- out of a sense of liberation and lack of fear--it's less tech, it must be better!! Just when you thought it was safe to relax... *evil cackle* Oh interesting, I’ll have to track the other clip down! Yes, Mistry is pretty inspiring in his framing.

[They have another talk which shows the camera, the projection on the wall the the phone etc...] While the other one was inspiring for the technological advances, I find I am totally infatuated with this presentation because of him. He's very altruistic, isn't he? It's not for the labs, it's for the masses! Open source and all. I find it interesting that he suggests that by eliminating the use of media, this will remind us how to be human - although it makes me think more of Ghost in the Shell than not! Technically, has the computer chip /camera/whatever learned our gestures? Or have we totally incorporated the machine?
