> In this cool demo from TED Fellow Manu Prakash, meet a microscope made of paper that's easy to fold and use (and costs about 50 cents to make). These cheap, cutting-edge microscopes could help rural health clinics diagnose diseases faster -- and for students, it turns the world into a hands-on science experiment.

> Vending machines generally offer up sodas, candy bars and chips. Not so for the one created by TED Fellow Gabe Barcia-Colombo. This artist has dreamed up a DNA Vending Machine, which dispenses extracted human DNA, packaged in a vial along with a collectible photo of the person who gave it. It’s charming and quirky, but points out larger ethical issues that will arise as access to biotechnology increases. Watch »

Through private companies, he says, governments are buying technology with the capacity to break into computers, steal documents and monitor activity — without detection. This TED Fellow gives an unsettling look at what's to come. Watch »

> Mary Lou Jepsen: Could future devices read images from our brains?
> A mind-door opening talk -- for me. I had several strokes a few years ago and got to see images of my brain, and learned that different parts of my brain have new jobs, that I store things -- like memories -- in new places in my brain. It's hopeful that someday I could speak with my brain and not need to push every word out, as I do now. It's also a bit frightening to think about the world of un-filtered free-flowing thought communication. I suggest a viewing of the 50s sci-fi classic "Forbidden Planet" for one possibility. Thank you Ms. Jepsen for suggesting we need to step into that new world together."
