A Day of Glass

Check out this video made by Corning Glass that shares a glimpse into what the future could be like. The camera follows a family through a "typical" day using state of the art glass and technology. Often when I see or hear about advances into the future, I feel both a little excited and scared. Technology has come a long way and continues to make advances so rapidly. I start to wonder how much is too much?  Lately I've been itching to re-watch Wall-E--the animated movie with the little robot. When I first watched it, I had such different expectations (i.e. I was caught off guard by the deeper issues and message it put out about the state and direction of humans and their consumerism.) Looking back it brings me to think about how we spend our money and how much we rely on technology–almost to a point where it inhibits us from challenging our own minds and bodies. Just something I've been thinking about...

I have to admit though...the video is pretty cool. I love the refrigerator and that phone. Check it out.
