An interesting podcast was published on CBC Radio a couple of months back. The podcast, which runs for about 20 minutes, is an interview with Dr. Ray Kurzweil and he gives his view of where the advances in medecine and technology could lead to potentially immortality for humans (or any other living being even if it is not discussed). To check it out, you need to scroll down on the page as the Podcast was posted on 13/10 or simply do a search on the page for : "immortality".

If you've had the chance (or shall I say the honor?) of assisting to one of our presentation, you will probably remember the GPS shoe we present that has been develop for young childs. The shoes allows parents to see where their kids are and even if it might sound a bit limiting the freedom of the child, it has very valid use to avoid kidnapping, or even when the kid runs away from school for the day and no one can find him. The same concept has been pushed for another type of user this time; Alzheimer's patients. As it is quite common for patients to wander around and get in a bad situation, those shoes would help in preventing such incidents. This is a smart use of well available technology that will make our day to day lives safer and easier.
