The Magic Wall

The creation of the magic wall was revolutionary, to say the least. I remember first seeing it in the Minority Report and thought wow that looks cool, but I never expected that it was real and functioning. I recently got an Ipod Touch and discovered how incredible this touch technology is. Even my mother, who can barely turn on her desktop computer, found the IPod Touch easy to use and was even amused by it. It actually made technology fun for her, which may not have been the purpose of the technology, but it's a great bonus. The scale of the actual wall makes it an incredible tool for organizing a lot of information at once. The daily show episode that jokes about the magic wall illustrates, albeit totally exaggerated, the potential power of a technology like this. It seems these days that technology allows us to do almost anything so who knows how far it could get. I'm sure there were plenty of other people who never expected something like this to be created in our lifetime so perhaps one day there will be an all-powerful super computer (although I imagine it won't be controlled by John King).
