Sixth Sence

I can only start with... AMAZING!!! This guy is incredibly brilliant and just wonderful. I specially liked the way he thinks about technology and the reason he made that project for. He said he hates that people these days are always sitting on a chair doing things on their computers. They're just getting fat... He made it so that people can use that same technology but with everyday objects. That way you can be doing what you do everyday. I like his way of thinking very much.
Like I said before, being able to do anything you want and still use technology is the best thing about it for me. This can lead to something great in the future. I also liked that it looks just impossible and fake, almost like magic, and taking pictures of a building with just moving your fingers can look unnatural for some people, but when you understand what he's really doing, and that is giving a signal to a camera with his fingers and sending it to a computer using blue-tooth then projecting it in a piece of paper, you realize that it is very much possible. The bad thins about this is that you would have to wear a helmet or a heavy deckles and things on your fingertips all day. Nobody would like that. Maybe this can be fixed after working on it though. It has good things and bad things. Although, it can all be fixed.
Open Source is what he said this project will be. It means it will be available for anybody that pays for it. You will be able to buy it as another computer in shops. It is great that he will sell this because he will earn lots of money and help many fat or ignorant people "look outside the box" and do everything they did in a very creative and social way. However, it can also be bad. Maybe after a few years everybody will use this. After time everybody will start depending on technology and new thing will be discovered. We will convert into lazy people like the ones in the movie Wallie...
