Corning expands its vision of a glass future

Nearly a year ago, Corning put out a video called “A Day Made of Glass.” In it, they showed a future that was enhanced by the use of touchscreens and other variations of glass products that seems less like “Minority Report” and more like a not-so-distant reality. This week, they’ve added to the video by releasing another titled “A Day Made of Glass 2: Same Day. Expanded Corning Vision.”
First, here’s the original video:

It was inspiring to see the potential, but didn’t quite take the world to the next level that many of these technologies promise. Now, their most recent video finishes the job with kid-attacking dinosaurs and all.

The updated vision starts with Handheld Display Glass that is thin, damage resistant, and 3-D projection-ready. As we continue through, innovations such as electrochromic glass, architectural display glass, and automotive display glass with importable themes (hijacked by the kids while they wait for their father) point towards a more-robust enhancement of life through glass.
How far into the future is Corning looking? As quickly as technology is advancing, we may be looking at years and not decades.

"Y ou can’t manage what you can’t measure " - "Ö lçemedeğiniz şeyi yönetemezsiniz " Her ne kadar bu söz, günümüze yanlış bir şekilde aktarılmış olsa da, kendi içerisinde kısmi bir doğruluk barındırmakta. Aslında bu söz ile anlatılmak istenen, ölçerek herşeyin yönetilemeyeceği fakat sonuçları iyileştirmek için süreçlerin ölçülmesi ve takip edilmesinin önemli olduğudur. Sözün asıl sahibi W. Edward Deming, verinin ve gözlemin önemini aşağıdaki sözüyle çok güzel bir şekilde anlatmaktadır....

A Creative Way to Meet Investors - UberX

Have a cool startup idea, and want to get it funded? You could go the traditional route, blindly sending your pitch deck to every VC in Silicon Valley. Or you could follow investors on Twitter, hoping that through casual badinage you can win the hearts (and eventually, the wallets) of your startup's money source. Or maybe, just maybe, you should drive for Uber. UberX Lowers The Bar Yes, Uber, the popular mobile app that connects drivers with people who need a lift. Founded in 2009 as UberCab, Uber has become the go-to app for hailing a sedan in markets like San Francisco, New York City and London. And while historically Uber operators have been commercial sedan drivers filling time between jobs their employer provides them, Uber's introduction of UberX in July 2012 has opened the service to cars and drivers of all kinds. This means that not only will you be picked up in a Toyota Prius or Volkswagen Jetta instead of a Lincoln Town Car, but you're also going...
