Time Magazine's 5 New Things that will Blow Your Mind

All five of these things are very cool, but the Nintendo inclusion made it GD worthy. The most impressive is the translator.

Cool, but nothing came close to blowing my mind. Very disappointing. Maybe the reduce fat thing will blow some lardass' mind.

At first I scoffed at the Revolution being in there ... but then I saw the other selections.

I'm so sick of PDA's and thier hype. It has been going on for 7 years now, and it really hasn't reached a point where they are important to the average consumer. I see thier functionality for sales people, but that is about it. They will never reach mass market.

I think PDAs will reach mass market potential as they become more integrated in cell phones. Having a cell phone, a PDA, an iPod, a DS, a digital camera, etc. with you when you travel is a bitch. Consolidation is the key.

I made this arguement in the original PSP thread. You will never have a true "all in one" because it will be cost prohibitive to make it. You cannot make the best Ipod/PDA/DS/Camera because there will be individual components that will always beat the "all in one" and be much cheaper.

So if someone owns a top line camera and Ipod .. they are going to look at the "all in one" and say ... "Why do I need that now? I already own two of its functions already." You can not defeat that type of thinking. Unless you price it insanely low, a foriegn concept to new electronics.

OF THE FUTURE!

Two of their "mind blowers" seem to be cell phones. Where's my goddamn flying car?

I like that airplane. I'm a frequent flyer, so I'm hoping that that model will be incorporated into most airlines.
