Having an intelligent secretary does not get rid of the need to read, write, and draw, etc. In a well functioning world, tools and agents are complementary.

Smartglasses for the blind

Smartglasses designed to assist blind and partially sighted people by using a specially adapted 3D camera were developed by researchers at the university of Oxford.

Smartglasses to improve the lives of blind people were developed by UK researchersRNIB
The camera separates and highlights objects ahead and projects them on the lens to maximize the remaining vision of the wearer.

They are now being developed further through a partnership with the Royal National Institute of Blind People, with hopes that they will be available commercially in 2016.

A camera that can record the movement of light

A camera that captures light at 4.4 trillion frames per second was invented by researchers in Japan, setting a record for the world's fastest camera.

The Sequentially Timed All-optical Mapping Photography (STAMP) camera is so fast that it can capture the movement of light.

"High-speed photography is a powerful tool for studying fast dynamics in photo chemistry, spintronics, phononics, fluidics and plasma physics," the researchers said.

Smart contact lenses

A smart contact lens that can monitor the glucose levels of diabetes sufferers was developed by Google in January.

The smart contact lens contains chips and sensors "the size of glitter" to monitor blood sugar levelsGoogle
Coming out of the company's Google X skunk works division, best known for developing Google Glass, the contact lenses use chips and sensors the size of glitter to offer an early warning to the wearer by analysing tears.

"As you can imagine, tears are hard to collect and study," the Google engineers said. "At Google X, we wondered if miniaturised electronics - think: chips and sensors so small they look like bits of glitter, and an antenna thinner than a human hair - might be a way to crack the mystery of tear glucose and measure it with greater accuracy."

Mind-reading and memory recording MRI scan

The first ever commercial brain scan for the purpose of recording thoughts and memories for future playback took place in September. The inaugural patient of Millenium Magnetic Technologies (MMT) thought recording technology was software developer Anthony Broussard from Houston Texas, who paid around £1,200 to have his memories preserved.

A US-based neurotechnology startup became the first company to commercialise the recording and storing of human thoughtsCC
"Some people call it thought identification but it's essentially mind reading," Donald Marks, founder and chief science officer of MMT, told IBTimes UK. "The visual reconstruction (of the thoughts) is kind of crude right now but the data is definitely there and it will get better, it's just a matter of refinement.

"That information is stored - once you've recorded that information it's there forever. In the future we'll be able to reconstruct the data we have now much better."

Technical Joke
An engineer gets home from work and sees a note on the fridge from his wife:
“This isn’t working, I’m going to my mom’s.”
He opens the fridge, checks the light, grabs a beer, feels it cold and drinks it.
And then he utters:
“WhaddaheII, the fridge works fine!”
haha...

Technical support call:
Caller: ‘Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?’
Operator: ‘I’m sorry, sir, I don’t understand who you are talking about.’
Caller: ‘On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for Jack?’
Operator: ‘I think it means the telephone plug on the wall.’
