IBM's THINK App for iPad, Android Tablets Chronicles Centuries of Innovation

IBM has created a new THINK exhibit app for iPad and Android tablets that traces the roots of modern innovation. The new app is IBMs way of celebrating centuries of science and technology innovations. In creating the app, IBM reinvented its 2011 THINK exhibit at New York City's Lincoln Center as a free, interactive app geared to technology fans and educators. Big Blue calls the new IBM THINK exhibit app an "innovation time machine" that shows how early tools have evolved into modern advances that create healthier populations, greener energy and safer, less congested cities. Through interactive content and thousands of images and historical anecdotes, the IBM THINK Exhibit app is filled with stories of progress, from space exploration to weather prediction and medical advances. It documents the roots of Big Data, from early charts, clocks and scales to microscopes and telescopes, from RFID chips and biomedical sensors in clothing to breath-sensor diabetes detectors. Here, eWEEK looks at some of the innovations depicted in the new IBM THINK app. - ...
