More Why This Matters: Gestural UI (like Minority Report) is now getting closer to being a thing, at least at Microsoft Research.

Venture capital funding in the U.S. over the last five years has totaled a remarkable $238 billion, and 200 companies today are so-called unicorns, privately valued at more than a billion dollars each. Meanwhile, though, a host of economic researchers have been telling a much bleaker story: American entrepreneurship is actually on the decline, and has been for decades. More Why This Matters: According to the data presented by MIT, 2013 Americans started fewer businesses than they did in 1980. I would not have guessed that. Likewise some of the other information in this article is counter-intuitive compared to what it feels like has been going on. I guess thats true of many things. -Cynthia Wisehart | |
