TED Talk 7

1. Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry

2. The sixth sense. The talk was about a new invention that could possibly act as a humans sixth sense. Its a device that you are able to wear that can interact with the environment around you. For example, if you were at a grocery store and wanted to know how much a stray can of beans costs, all you have to do is let the device scan it and then it will be able to tell you the price. Also, depending on where you are, the invention can scan the environment around you and give you information around it. It's basically a wearable Google.

3. I thought it was pretty cool but then it made me question how dependable humans are on technology now. Everything we do is based around it and everyday, people are continuing to find shortcuts throught it, basically destroying our instict to explore or discover stuff ourselves.
