The next big thing? How about pointing devices that scan your eye movements and click on screen objects when you blink in a certain way?

I'm going to bring this old thread back. My sister is a drama teacher and last week attended a work shop introducing her to smart board. Check this out. Smart Boards
Cars that won't let you do stupid things. Keeps you from driving too close or too fast for road conditions, warns you when there is someone in your blind spot, etc. I know some of this is out or coming out soon, but I expect it on every car no matter the price.
