At the CES show one of the big hits is a robotic ball, created by Sphero, that can be controlled with a smartphone. Currently, the emphasis is on innovative games but I’d encourage you to think deeper and broader about the potential applications. For example, when the robotic device is also hooked with a low [...]
The other day I posted these photos as a visual metaphor for unlearning. A kind reader then shared this short video with me. It's another great reminder of the idea that there will always be something new (and bigger) to unlearn in your future. Enjoy!

Behind one is a new car and behind the other two are goats. After you have made your selection, the game host (who knows what’s [...]
I have been writing about the extraordinary potential of 3D manufacturing for some time now. Innovative researchers at MIT have now produced an operating flute in less than 15 hours using the technology. The flute isn’t perfect but, as with so many other technologies, 3D manufacturing is getting exponentially better. If you’re interested in hearing [...]
