yeah, and its amazing to see exactly how long these technologies take to develop. 20 years to get our touch screen ipods. Who knows whats in the development process now...

some new stuff...

Christopher deCharms: Looking inside the brain in real time

Neil Turok: 2008 TED Prize wish: An African Einstein

I recommend looking at Karen Armstrong's talk too. It doesn't fit under science though. I've read her work and her goals I feel are worthy of pursuit, but I'm not too thrilled with the bureaucratic entity she has chosen to over see this...

and two of my favorite old talks...

Ron Eglash: African fractals, in buildings and braids

George Dyson: Let's take a nuclear-powered rocket to Saturn
