AI Websites

One of the things in my opinion has not been utilized to its potential has been AI.
Having done some work with it in my graduate studies and used it for modelling way back in late 90s, I always thought it would become mainstream and booming in early 2000s but looks like it has taken considerable time to make it big time.

Early believers in Google Glass losing faith...?

After reading a recent article about Google Glass losing the early enthusiasm that it generated, I started thinking why this awesome technology gadget may not seem like a good fit for the modern tech enthusiast

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/14/us-google-glass-insight-idUSKCN0IY18E20141114

Some thoughts:

1. Looks like the modern enthusiast is tired of having gadgets sticking on him/ her and would like to have a "hands free" experience to the gadget.
2. Also to me it wants users to wear Glasses all the time to do the same activities that you can pretty much do with the normal smartphone.
3. Not many practical applications have been seen using the Glasses. There are other companies like Epson's Moverio who have targetted much more pragmatic use cases that the Google Glass and put a premium pricing just for that. Now that to me, makes some sense..

Positive thinking

While a lot has been said and written on the merits of Positive thinking, I found a very good article on the merits of Positive thinking in this article on the Next Web.

http://thenextweb.com/lifehacks/2014/08/11/positive-thinking/

Apart from the usual, the merits of positive thinking, in my opinion, allows the brain to think in a multidimensional way, paving the path for innovation. If you continue to work in a silo, the brain behaves in the "secure thy self" mode which hinders constructive growth.
