The Sixth Sense

Human technology, that has been Nokia's slogan ever since the company was established. More and more devices today incorporate high technology into them without being complicated. It is evident as instruction manuals become more like product brochures as the operation of these devices are become more and more intuitive.



Take the Sixth Sense Project as an example. Masterminded by Pranav Mistry (The dude must be an alien), this project showcases the way of the future of how technology trully is at our fingertips.

    it is amazing how human technology literally comes at the tip of your finger tips. though i wonder if this is what we will be getting use to in the future surely there will be massive advancements in industries such as cars, or producing simple everyday products-will it be a computerised production line or will it be just simply drawing with your fingers how things will be created-produced and packaged-this reminds me of the matrix2 and minority report when they are processing information or opening up gate ways at their finger tips...
