Now Let's Just Hope They Don't Become Self Aware



I found this video about Siftables a while ago, but just figured out how to code video for this blog and still think these things are really cool; I would love if this is the direction human/computer interfacing is going. For computers to be able to communicate with us through physical actions beyond point and click is a pretty amazing concept; if they can understand the difference between "pour" and "stack," learning physical empathy like "hug" vs. "punch" may not be far behind. Maybe. Either way I want a set, mainly because, as I'm sure was this guys original intention, they definitely have untapped potential to be a really fun drinking game. Its also crazy to think how fluent and comfortable our kids will be with computers if these are these Legos of the next generation. Just watch it already. Enjoy.
