Earthships
This is the first of three videos we will feature this week on Earth Ships Biotecture. I visited the Earth Ships last year in Taos and they are the most profound architectural manifestation of sustainability I have ever seen. Enjoy the interview at the end with Mike Reynolds the visionary creator of the Earth Ships.
25 Years of Tech Progress
For years I have been saying that the miniaturization and drop in cost of digital storage is the unsung hero of the last 25 years. Take a look!

International Space Station Tour
This is a tour of the International Space Station. It gives a great idea of what living in space is like today and will be in the future. We are so used to seeing future space travel in the movie that it is really amazing to see – and realize- that it is going on now. Wow!
Augmented Reality Glasses with 3D Gesture Control
This is a beginning stage example of how incredible augmented reality will be. This and Google Glass are just the beginning.
