Touch Computer
This new computer comes as a coffee table. This coffee table has a screen in which it can sense multiple touches at once so you can do multiple actions at the same time. Because of this function, this touch screen computer beats the mouse any day. Underneath this computer are infrared detectors that can detect any object put on the table. It also can connect to wireless devices such as cameras or phones and send information from one device to another without plugging anything in.

Zumbox
E-mail has been emerging ever since it came out, well now with Zumbox, every house in America will be able to have their own e-mail, and by house I really do mean house, just like regular mail. Zumbox is a new e-mail system that creates a residential email system for every home in the U.S. The general idea of Zumbox was for companies to be able to send all their bills, notifications etc, but virtually! Some companies have already began to use this service and are sending it to their customers, even if the customers haven't signed up for an account yet, the mail will be held until the customer signs up. Signing up is free as well, the only catch is commercial mail, Zumbox charges 5 cents per junk mail, and will allow the company to send mail to an entire building or to everyone within a certain radius. The bright side though is that the junk, well, special offers section, get a whole separate category. Overall sounds like a good idea, and its a great way to go green! The private company has over 4 million dollars and will "expand their runway when they need too."
