Dwellings instead of prefab WWII Bungalows
Churchill build them as temporary bungalows after the bombing of London. The last community, The Excalibur Estate, has been replaced. The land is worth millions of pounds now. And instead of 186 prefabs, they have put 400 'dwellings'. We need to go forward instead of lingering in the past, but on the other hand, it's part of history.

Alo ... a concept smartphone of the future
Alo ... Alo ... the smartphone of the future designed by Philippe Starck and Jerome Olivet together with Thomson. Voice activated and fits in the palm of your hand.
Only voice activated? I don't like screaming against an inanimate object, although, inanimate? "The outside is what they call a "gelatinous" self-healing material that provides haptic feedback to the user, including vibrations and heat".
Am I the only one who thinks of a sex toy when looking at these images?

30 Years Of Tech
And we stay with TED and with MIT. Nicholas Negroponte takes us 30 years back in tech. A 30-year history of the future.
.png)
MIT Media Lab founder Nicholas Negroponte takes you on a journey through the last 30 years of tech. The consummate predictor highlights interfaces and innovations he foresaw in the 1970s and 1980s that were scoffed at then but are ubiquitous today. And he leaves you with one last (absurd? brilliant?) prediction for the coming 30 years.
Become A Now-ist
Forget predicting the future, become a now-ist if you want to innovate says Joi Ito. Interesting TED talk.
“Remember before the internet?” asks Joi Ito. “Remember when people used to try to predict the future?” In this engaging talk, the head of the MIT Media Lab skips the future predictions and instead shares a new approach to creating in the moment: building quickly and improving constantly, without waiting for permission or for proof that you have the right idea. This kind of bottom-up innovation is seen in the most fascinating, futuristic projects emerging today, and it starts, he says, with being open and alert to what’s going on around you right now. Don’t be a futurist, he suggests: be a now-ist.

Just Thinking ...
I was on an event yesterday 'Bladen In De Balie' (Magazines in De Balie) in Amsterdam. The future of magazines. Content - Context. Ofcourse a GoogleGlass talk. A talk by a publisher who said that every printed title has something that works, it can be an event, a website, an app, GoogleGlass et cetera. Nice. And a talk by the publishers of a specialized dutch car magazine.
Suddenly it hits me. Probably not original, but I couldn't get it out of my head.
1. Remember in the 'past' you would buy for example a magazine about history, gossip, gadgets, fashion. You bought a title. Fashion ---> Elle. But now with the 'pay per article', websites, blogs, you buy / read an article from a journalist, writer. The person is getting more important nowadays.
2. Why do we still need a car showroom? Last week I saw a pop-up store and I was thinking why don't they get rid of car showrooms and use pop-up stores? Yesterday I listened to the research they did, the facts, the statistics. Roughly put. 99% of the time people spend looking for a new (used) car is checking internet, finally 1%: car dealer. The dutch magazine Autoweek is going to organize an event with all car brands. 3 days, you buy a ticket online and if you're interested in a certain car you can reserve a time to test the specific car. Drive it. Very good idea. Bye bye very costly showrooms.
Ah well, as I said ... just thinking ...

The Future Of Computing Is Tactile
Wow, a display you can reach through. Does this mean I can touch, shake hands with a person at the other side of the world? I guess it does. Very interesting but in some way I find it a bit creepy. Probably have to get used to it. Can you imagine what this means for the porn industry? It's developed by the Tangible Media Group, part of MIT Lab. It's called inFORM, a Dynamic Shape Display that can render 3D content physically.

Reach Into The Computer?
WTF?! Is this the future? How long till it's just the way we work?
"The border between our physical world and the digital information surrounding us has been getting thinner and thinner. Designer and engineer Jinha Lee wants to dissolve it altogether. As he demonstrates in this short, gasp-inducing talk, his ideas include a pen that penetrates into a screen to draw 3D models and SpaceTop, a computer desktop prototype that lets you reach through the screen to manipulate digital objects."

Retro-Future Car Designs By 600v
Very hip car designs.
As if channeling the spirit of the future obsessed Syd Mead, a Russian artist going by the name 600v creates automotive designs with a distinctly retro-futuristic twist. With a clear passion for heavy American steel of the 50s, 60s and 70s, he creates cars which push the limits of current car design while at the same time paying tribute to the glorious automotive past.
