Here’s another example of eye-gaze technology being used to operate a television and an iPad. Why don’t I have this yet? Why am I still using assistive technology that has been around since Eighties? I understand that it takes a while for a concept to move from the garage to the commercial market, but…hurry up! I’d like to start using some of this stuff before I’m too senile to tell the difference between a website and a cereal box. The 1995 version of me would be very disappointed to know that his 21st century self is surrounded by all this shiny portable tech, but he’s still tethered to his desk because the Apples and Googles of the world are too busy litigating the patent rights on a rectangle to do any proper innovation.
