| Crazy Multi-Input Touch Screen |
 |
This is a video of a multi-input touch screen that
hopefully will make its way into consumer computer
market in time. A standard touch screen allows one
input at a time. This allows multiple people to
use it and allows for Minority Report like
features. Super Cool

| Google: Behind the Screen (IJsbrand van Veelen VPRO 2006) |

This 50 minutes documentary gives an in-depth look
in the world of Google and search.
What if all the world's information would be
available and easy to find? What if all the news,
all books, all texts, photographs and videos would
be collected in one place, and made available,
always and everywhere?
This is the goal of Google, and the company seems
to be realising its core mission at an amazing
speed: through its popular search engine, through
Google Earth, with which users can find any kind
of information based on geography, and through
Google Print, a project in which Google digitizes
complete libraries.
Google is divulging ever more information, in the
process hiring the smartest people in the
industry. But is the company aware of the
responsibility it has, being the guard to all the
world's information, including personal
information about its users?
This documentary takes a look into the world of
Google, in the company's headquarters in Mountain
View, California and in its London offices. We see
--among others- Vint Cerf, named 'the father' of
the Internet who explains the inner workings of
Google as a company. Since 2004, Cerf has been
working for Google, helping them to develop new
applications for the Internet. What is his view on
the development of the Internet, and on the role
Google plays in today's world?
With its motto 'Don't be evil', Google seems to
have the best intentions. But there are also
claims that Google is slowly turning into Big
Brother, keeping track of its users and
continuously making decisions about the
information it provides to an ever faster growing
number of users.
Will Google turn out to be a new Library of
Alexandria, serving as a middleman that brings all
useful information to anyone? Or is it turning
into a monopolistic Big Brother that challenges
the freedom of information?
