5 Awesome Innovations That Bring Sexy Back To The Future

There's something to be said about Timberlake's "Sexy Back" from two years ago - when half the people were trying to mesh noir and technology together to form some steampunk-ish child, the song (and mostly the video) evokes a wanting for bringing sexy back to technology.

That gives everyone a bit of re-decorating to look forward to - throw out the wires, the dials and the big, clunky forms - leave in the sleek, shiny plastic, brushed metal and the slimmest possible sizes.

This is, to say, in the future, clutter is a no-no, and using walls, tables and other fixtures will act as screens and input devices.

For those planning the transition as early as today, here are a few gadgets, concepts and innovations you have to look forward to, and make space for.
(Most of these are concepts and do not exist yet in reality. It's a wonder how other people's imaginations overlap our own desires for the future.)

Multi-Touch Technology - 6 years after Minority Report and we're still obsessing about re-creating the futuristic interface that Anderton used in the movie - case in point? That video for "Ayo Technology." (Which, surprisingly, also stars Timberlake.)

The difference of Multi-Touch Technology with similar touch-screen interfaces is that it can accept multiple inputs at the same time. This means multiple fingers = multiple inputs, and it also means that multi-user applications is possible. This is already widely used and may come in a photosensor/screen wall near you. Apple's iPhone is one example of this - the iPhone uses Multi-Touch scrolling and picture manipulation technology.

Vaio Zoom - While not designed by Sony, this Yanko Design Concept is an interesting piece. What started out as "showing what's behind the screen" wallpaper series, this concept takes it a lot further by implementing holographic displays over a transparent screen.

Nonobject Behind the Scenes Camera - To help shape what the future will become, Nonobject has dedicated their time to creating fully plausible (and yet currently unbuildable) designs that are created to inspire future tinkerers.
The idea behind the Nonobject Behind the Scenes Camera is being able to take photos from scenes that are both in front of you and behind you. Thing is, how would you take a photo without getting your face, body and hands in the way? I have no clue either.

Proclaim Speaker DMT-100 - These futuristic eyeball speakers just look amazing. With pivoting arms, the "eyes" can be positioned so that the sound waves can travel in different directions, plus, it also helps if you have a space problem and need something that can be neatly tucked into place.

Printer Table - Again, from Yanko Design, this sleek device marries a furniture into something a little more useful. Want that report printed out while you have coffee? No sweat - using this device, one doesn't need to run to the office printer while enjoying coffee with clients, just load in a fresh ream of paper in the faux drawers ... and you're good to go!

The Top 10 Reasons to Begin an Innovation Practice

Even while the economy languishes, and most companies are in survival mode, technological innovations that have been in the pipeline for decades continue to drive massive change in the markets.  In fact, all signs indicate the rate of change in the economy is increasing.  Those companies with an active innovation program in place will be in the best position to dominate when purchasing power begins to increase.

Many people are confused by the concept of innovation, thinking that it is something in which only the very brightest people participate.  On the contrary, anyone can and should participate in a properly run innovation program. 

Here are 10 top reasons (in no particular order) to begin an innovation practice within your company today.

1. Create a new product/service/process/system - This is the heart of true innovation - the creation of a new thing.  But, remember it does not have to be patentable, just an improvement on an existing system or product.

2. Job creation - Innovation is one of the top drivers of job creation in the US, and is the fastest path we can take out of this economic morass.

3. Cut costs - The simplest innovation program is one in which you ask the people involved how to do the task in a less costly manner.  A properly motivated staff often times produces amazing results.

4. Become more productive - Similar to number three above, you could ask your staff how to do the task in fewer steps, faster, or combine it with another step to be more efficient.

5. Create a better USP - In the hyper-competitive market that we currently find ourselves, being able to differentiate our product/service is absolutely invaluable.  Innovation can make your Unique Selling Proposition truly unique.

6. Prevent boredom - Finding a new way to do the same old task can be fun and possibly exciting.  Innovation of a routine process just for the challenge of it can get the old creative juices flowing again.

7. Open new markets - Sometimes you just have to modify your product/service only slightly to be able to move it into a new market.  Sometime you may have to do more then a slight modification, but if you are successful, you have a new revenue stream.

8. Meet new people - The strength of your business depends to a large degree on the people in your network.  When you do new things in the same market or different things in a new market, you attract new and different people to your company.  By itself this is valuable.

9. Create a new pathway to wealth - While becoming wealthy may not be your primary motivation, innovation is the traditional means and one of the fastest ways to achieve financial independence.

10. Become famous - Becoming famous may not be your primary reason for innovation either, but if you do it properly, it can be a fast track to becoming well known.  With too many media outlets and not enough interesting news, getting your face on one or more of the channels is not that difficult with the right story.

Hawaii was and is a place of great agricultural value. Even then, citizens of the Hawaiian American descent, naturalized citizens and foreigners with a business interest in the islands includes a powerful sector of the population. When Queen Lili'uokalani tried a new Constitution restricts the right of the Hawaiian Institute of issues and strengthening the power of the monarchy, the opposition, withHelp of the American ambassador to Hawaii 's, organized a coup overthrew the monarchy and a provisional government.

While in many places in the world today, democracy is considered the best and morally responsible form of government, you have about the motives behind this "revolution miracle." Was it really in the best interests of the native Hawaiians? Many think not so sure, and in 1895, royalists loyal to the queen tried to restore them to power.The plan failed, and the Queen was arrested and interrogated, sentenced, forced to abdicate all future claims to the throne and eventually to a prison in the place from which they once ruled their kingdom, Iolani Palace convicted.

While the Queen to spend part of their long imprisonment in an upstairs bedroom of Iolani Palace, denied all visitors except for one of her ladies, in her palace was looted of virtually by their captors that auctioned off his accumulated treasures. ThePalace finally became the seat of government for the Provisional Government, which develops in time in the state of Hawaii in 1959.

In 1978, almost 100 years after the foundation had been laid for Iolani Palace began on restoring the building. After years of neglect and abuse, the Friends of Iolani Palace, founded by Lili'uokalani Morris, rose from Hawaiian royalty, devoted themselves to the palace back to its former glory.
