Kinect

I would have never guessed that the kinect would have so many different applications when i first heard of it. I went on youtube and was looking at all the different things people had done with it. One guys was drawing with his hands, another guy had created an augmented reality, another guy was controlling a vacuum, and there were a lot of other things too. Seeing everything that was possible with the kinect it made me think about the future. In the furture it could be possible that they have a camera, like the kinect, set up that will ring you out. Instead of having cashiers you would have a camera that would know when you approach and ring everything out for you.

After the kinect came out it got hacked in about a week or so. Since then so many people have been playing around with it trying out new things. It was pretty smart on Microsoft's behave that they made the kinect so people could hack it and experiment with it. Just by them doing that, the kinect has so many more applications now. Comppanies like apple, which try to make sure that none of their products can get hacked, are less likely to experience progress because no one else can try to play around with the new things they make. I mean it's only logical that the more people you have playing around with something the more new things you are going to create.
