Jeff Han demos his breakthrough touch screen

I think we will never stop trying to perfect what we know as touch screen technology, probably in the future it will get to the point where you don’t even have to touch the screen anymore you will just say the command out loud and the interface will do it.

I'm very excited about the multi-hand technology because it's no longer limiting us, now you can just use it as you understand it, like Jeff says there is no manual for it.

Another thing that I liked is when he said that we should not be conforming to the keyboards and mouse and other things, I really like the idea of one unit having all the things you need in it.

also I like to express that i dream of the day that illustrator Photoshop, flash, etc, will be done with touch screen technology and we no longer be slaves of the mouse or paths.

iPad Magazine Art Direction

Call me old school but for me there is nothing that will substitute the experience of reading a normal magazine, so taking in consideration that this is very new and people have to get use to it, I still really agree when the narrator says that the magazines on the iPad “pales in comparison” to the real thing, specially in the GQ one because when you have physically the magazine and everything is so interesting, and I was very disappointed because when the articles where shown, most of them were on a blank fond with very little design it almost felt like when you are doing research on the internet, instead of when you are reading something for fun, I feel like there is an endless list of possibilities of what they can do to make up for not having the actual magazine in your hands, like the interview video and they are not exploding that.

The Future of Web Content – HTML5, Flash & Mobile Apps

If you are going to read this article you better know a bit about html and all that this involves, because I found it kind of confusing and I’m supposed to know a little bit about it, but if you are up to the challenge I think you will find that this is a very interesting article.

For me it was interesting because first of all I was one of those people who thought that html5 was going to replace flash, and now I know that for now this replacement is not possible, but who knows, maybe in the future there will be something with more reach and both of this thing will be dead.

Also it was nice to know a little more about the intricate ways both of this things (flash and html5) work and a little about their history, I almost feel like this two things are like the neighbors that don’t get along to well but still help each other, because they force one another to keep getting better a very keeping up with the Jones’s sort of thing but we are the ones that keep getting the benefits of this so I hope the fight continues.
