.Jeff Han on TED Talks

If you’ve ever been frustrated with your mouse and keyboard, check this out. It’s a presentation for a new user interface by Jeff Han, a leader in technology designs.

It’s basically an intuitive touch-screen, letting you expand and manipulate content on the screen with your hands. I know it looks strange at first (like Tom Cruise in Minority Report), but it actually makes sense. I mean, we’re currently using 21st century technology with 19th century interfaces - it’s about time we had something new!

And this could work; fairly simple to use, and we wouldn’t have to learn to type all over again. Almost like using a computer in three dimensions. Worth keeping an eye on, I think.

      • The best novels of all time? I don’t think so!
        I love a good Best Of list. There’s nothing more fun than reading through a list of the best novels or films of all time and then debating the order with a friend. Over the years there have been quite a few of these Best Novels lists, most notably Modern Library’s list in 1998 which [...]
