Innovations

The NY Times published a pretty cool list of innovations here (hat-tip toVera's gchat status) http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/06/03/magazine/innovations-issue.html

What's your favorite?

Permanent sunscreen might be my favorite.

A few that are particularly interesting from the health and wellness perspective:

  • the anti-slouch screen (#13) for better posture at the desk
  • the spandex exercise pants with sensors (#3) to monitor muscle use
  • the tooth sensor that detects and reports plaque (#23)
  • the blood test for depression (#25) is amazing, and would go so far toward de-stigmatizing and enhancing treatment

Ah I actually forget what my initial comment was about. But I do remember my last sentence- a suggestion that your blog's tagline (underneath the title) be "and holly's hat-tips" :)
