M-Blocks

Such a coincidence. Yesterday I was talking with a friend who had the idea of a kind of lego blocks to create furniture with. If you have blocks left they are easy to store. Minimalistic design et cetera. Suddenly he said that it would be nice to have an app on your mobile phone, a catalogue, pick a chair, table, cupboard, hit the button and here we go, the blocks will create the furniture themselves. Well, it exists already. The M-Blocks, developed by the MIT.

M-Blocks are modular blocks. Operated via WiFi. Are self assembling.

Ghosts In The Machine

The little people inside your computer.

"Mark Crummett thinks modern technology is beautiful. To him the devices we’ve built, such as computers, are not only functional, they’re aesthetically appealing. Especially on the inside.

“I like the idea that [technology] looks the way it does because it has to look that way,” he says. “A hard drive is made out of round and shiny material because of what it has to do and how it has to do it. ”"
