The Big Think: Introducing e-ticulation. How touch is the future
The nature of communication is changing. We are no longer pushed a message in a linear fashion, but communicated and learn in a vibrant two-way (three-way, four way, etc...) interactive dynamic that touches our lives in way like never before.
Enter e-ticulation. It's the e-version of gesticulation. Gesticulation is the act of gesture...and now this notion of the computer gesture is emerging--living in technology like the Wii and further driven in part by the ipad. Touch, push, move, stretch and point are now becoming part of the body language of the computer. It's applications in real life are significant. From teaching a child to professional one-on-one selling, this will become the new standard of interactive communication.
The interesting thing is that this new method isn't just a step forward in technology but a step back to humanity. It integrates the device with the individual. It's the Internet that you hold like a pet. It's an extension of yourself and establishes a direct neural connection with the way your brain works. This is not be be underestimated!!!
It's here and it's here to stay. It's call e-ticulation, and you heard it here first.
