Newest Self Sensing Technology
T.E.D. speaker Vijay Kumar, and two of his students have created the newest, and possibly, the most ground breaking discovery of group orientation in technology ever! They have created hundreds of small flying robots, all eight inches in size, and every one of them can work together, without remote control or outside input. Boiled down, you tell this robot(s) what to do, and it figures out how to do it by itself. If you tell them to fly in a figure-eight formation, each robot will fly in co-relation with each other in order to make that formation.

Digital Footprint
Our digital footprint is what we leave behind us in the wake of our life online. Having a facebook, google account, and other social accounts are all parts of your digital footprint. There are a lot of ideas about what to put online and how to make sure it is private. In my personal opinion, i go old-school. If I don't want everybody to know what is going on in my life I don't put it on the web. Privacy online is near impossible to achieve. Just the term WORLD WIDE WEB should give you a clue that information online isn't private. Granted, your information may be private on google or facebook. But those companies still have access to see what you have been up to. And they work with law enforcement quite closely with the purpose of catching people doing illegal activity. Somewhere, somehow, somebody can look at anything you ever put online, and can trace it back to you. In a way, its as George Orwell put it in his book, "1984", big brother is watching you...

Internet Footprint
An internet footprint is a trail that you leave on the internet by doing just about anything. And if someone knows how to follow that footprint(s), it will lead back to you, and sometimes, that is too creepy for a normal person. It's a little scary to think that some pasty white, thin, stranger creeper may have the ability to steal your identity, find your kids, wife, husband, family, money, assets, know where you live, know where your family is everyday, and have access to pictures of you, your house, kids, wife, everything...all with the clicks of a mouse. Real creeps are out there, but there are ways to avoid leaving such tracks. By logging out after youre done browsing, deleting cookies, using a usb drive for browsing, browsing on an anonymous server, etc. can help you to not leave tracks.
