Great video from TED on the power of motivators –and specifically for those that need to think creatively; the old stick and carrot only works for tasks that require heads-down work…

Was watching this insane video from TED where Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry of MITâ??s Fluid Interfaces Lab show how one can become a gargoyle from Neal Stephensonâ??s â??Snow Crashâ??: wearable tech that is the aware of the userâ??s environment – for instance projecting amazonâ??s rating of a book one is thinking of purchasing, or projecting a watch onto a wrist initiated by a simple hand gesture. Imagine walking up to someone and seeing their interests projected on their chest, or taking a picture by just framing the area you want a shot of. Though right now itâ??s quite klunky and cobbled together, the cost of the off the shelf devices only total $350. Itâ??ll be interesting to see where this might go…
