Full-Mental Nudity: The arrival of mind-reading machines

Great article. Makes me think about Minority Report and Blink. Do we have free will? The laws and rules of privacy are only going to get more relevant. Sent to me by Gayle (thanks!). Check it out!

Video: Numbers to Make You Think

A nice 5 minute video that has a cool perspective. Some great numbers to make you think. A good friend of mine sent this - thanks Ardi! I quote a number of these all the time. Just like the fact that China has more honor students than we have students all together. Even if China and India have lousy education percentiles compared to industrialized countries, they must realize their sheer size. They also discuss the exponential curves shaping our future and how quickly things will be changing. Nice introduction for people...
