60 Minutes: The Future Factory

Humans can be very imaginative, resourceful and innovative when we focus on evolving rather than the status quo.

Touch screens, automated driving instructions, wearable technology and electronic ink were all developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in a place they call the Media Lab. It’s a research lab and graduate school program that long ago outgrew its name.

Come have a look at what we found in a place you could call — the Future Factory.  Here is a direct video link.
