Ted Talk Review

1. The sixth sense
The technology described in this ted talk was absolutely amazing. Watching the video made me feel as though I was watching a demonstration of technology from far in the future, but the truth of the matter is that this type of technology is being developed right now, and it is very real, as proved in the video. Widespread and public use of that kind of technology would be groundbreaking--changing many of our basic electronic habits, essentially. It would be amazing to dial a phone number using the palm of your hand or snap a picture with your fingertips. Hopefully this technology makes it's public debut soon.

2. The Math Magician
When we first started watching this video, I thought that it would be uninteresting because I'm not the biggest fan of math. But when the math magician began well, working his magic, I was quickly drawn in by his amazing skill. It's mind-boggling how anyone could make calculations as quickly and accurately as he did--all in his head. It was a great and entertaining video.
