Very new and unique observational technique of Venus utilizing the Hubble's incredible sensitivity.

Looking at the Sun's reflected light off the Moon's surface and collecting
the spectrum data of Venus' atmosphere within the green bounding
area for the duration of the transit, an amazing feat of instrument sensitivity.

Technology is quickly accelerating. I can't imagine how we will respond to significant breakthroughs when they are pounding us daily, instead of a few times a year. The challenge will intelligent implementation.

One thing that has concerned me for long time was robotic sensitivity to dynamic and quick grasping and touching. i.e., picking up an egg one moment and marble cutting board the next. Apparently it may be solved. . .

Here's something we may see incorporated across all surface interactive technology by next year.

Doesn't it annoy you when you see something like that, have an utterly Genius Idea of how to use it, but have no way getting involved.

Yes, bit of an eye opener, quite a magnificent evil glare when the furry disguise is removed. :) I guess it must be naturally hairless
or there would be a lot more blood about.

One aspect that struck me. . . contact reactive robotic surfaces will easily surpass humans in some aspects of touch once we integrate this, or similar technology, into a high resolution grid of strain gauges.

Load Cells (wheatstone bridge), now easily produced at the 65nm photolithography level and populated into a dense matrix, will surpass human fingertip touch capabilities. One advantage the robot will have over us, will be the ability to isolate cell input, "raster scan", and alter frequency input to the data set, essentially adjusting the touch sensitivity over a large PSI range ...which humans lose at even moderate pressure. Interlace this with still other technology, and artificial touch sensing will far exceed the human.

Imagine, artificial finger-size appendages having the ability to squeeze a coin at 1000 psi and "read" the faces, feel how worn it is, release it, then sort your eggs, locating ones with a hairline crack and setting them aside for cooking the next morning. Or a baseball catcher's glove catching a pitch and not only notifying the ump the ball is too rough, but telling the crowd the speed and rotation of the ball. The possibilities are endless. ;)

I firmly resign from my current life responsibilities.
I wanna learn to drive, and get a job at a Arby's
So bed me over, you suited parasite, and rape me til' the pennies scare you.
I've had it, thse struggles are clearly not worth it and there's other ways.
