This week we’re examining the recently published book, The Industries of the Future, by Alec Ross.
Imagine if, in the middle of the 20th century, you lived in “coal country” in America and you had access to knowledge that the coal industry was going to undergo massive change in the coming decades? What if you lived in Detroit and foresaw the impact of global changes to the automotive industry? Jumping to more recent times, we see Uber sending the taxi industry reeling, the gradual disappearance of many jobs to automation, and the potential for more and more changes as the digitization of one industry after another impacts jobs, economies, and lives.
If only there was a crystal ball that could have helped people foresee these changes. Alec Ross has provided the closest thing to that crystal orb for the coming the decades in The Industries of the Future.

The glory of virtual reality is to live in another person's shoes — to feel what they feel, experience what they experience, and see what they see.

Virtual and augmented reality are often touted as the next big thing in education. How big? Not nearly as big as textbooks, but heading toward the billion-dollar mark inside of 10 years.

This study suggests the potential of using virtual reality technology with young children in school settings. It provides a new pathway for teachers to engage young learners in developing their abstract thinking skills. For educational technologists, it also provides a good example for designing and developing adaptive virtual reality technologies to foster children’s cognitive learning in a playful way.

Clairy est l’un des premiers objets connectés à s’associer avec une plante pour proposer une fonction de purificateur d’air de la maison. Nous vous avions déjà fait découvrir deux objets de ce genre dans cet article dédié. Aujourd’hui, penchons-nous plus spécifiquement sur Clairy !
Comme vous le savez peut-être déjà, l’air intérieur est pollué, lui aussi (parfois même 5 fois plus que l’air extérieur !). Cette pollution intérieure peut, à terme, provoquer des problèmes de santé tels que des maux de tête, de l’asthme ou encore des sensations de vertige et des allergies. Il est donc nécessaire d’aérer régulièrement son foyer. Posséder des plantes vertes et un purificateur d’air vous aide à améliorer la qualité de votre air intérieur.

When President Obama first mentioned 3D printing in his State of the Union speech in 2013, it served as a delayed but inevitable herald of the digital fabrication revolution: "A once-shuttered warehouse is now a state-of-the art lab where new workers are mastering the 3D printing that has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything. There’s no reason this can’t happen in other towns." Led by the influx of 3D printers and desktop CNC routers, this “revolution” promises to diminish the barrier of manufacturing, to release workers from systems that once bound them by bringing manufacturing to our home, our workplace. In scaling down the size of components manufactured, proponents now claim “anybody can make”, a belief mirrored by their cousins in Silicon Valley. Both assert that the very act of creating will liberate those who buy products to now make and sell their own, which will in turn somehow dissolve existing class and racial differences...

Sony has a filed a patent for smart contact lenses that will allow you to record and play back video. The Japanese tech giants describe the idea as “a contact lens and storage medium capable of controlling an image pickup unit provided in the contact lens.”

Cette pomme contient-elle des pesticides, des OGM ou la bactérie E. coli ? A l’œil, impossible de le dire, mais une nouvelle génération de scanner pourrait bientôt permettre au consommateur de le vérifier par lui-même. La technologie, celle du spectroscope, est déjà largement maîtrisée. Le scanner envoie un faisceau de lumière en direction d'un fruit, d'un légume ou d'un morceau de viande, qui renvoie des ondes. Elles sont analysées et permettent d'obtenir des informations sur le produit : la quantité de glucides, de lipides ou de fibres, ainsi que le nombre de calories, entre autres.

You may have heard about all the cool things 3D printers can do. If you’re a math teacher, maybe you’ve thought about letting your students make their own manipulatives or get hands-on in geometry with 3D solids. If you’re an economics or business teacher, perhaps you’ve considered assigning students a project to design, market and sell their own 3D-printed products. Or maybe you’re a science teacher interested in exploring 3D models of cells, atoms or DNA with your students.
Wait! Slow down. Before you jump into purchasing and integrating this new gadget into your classroom, take a moment to consider the logistics and realities of becoming a 3D printer early adopter. Here’s a basic FAQ I’ve developed based on my own experiences and extensive research into classroom 3D printing.
