How Will You Know
if The Kids Are on the Internet?
It connects to the audio piece and
works like a tiny monitor that
projects an image through the
really cool bug-eye monocle into
my eye. It has lots of ‘serious’
applications, but my favorite is to
watch ‘Buffy’.
My mom has already realized that when the video is
on, the lenses become less transparent. That way
she knows if I’m really paying attention to her or
reading my email. She’s caught on quickly.

The Future Will Not Resemble the Past
The emergence of Peer-to-Peer computing
signifies a revolution in connectivity
that will be as profound to
the Internet of future
as Mosaic was to the Web of the past.”
