About this weblog
Here we'll report daily on the latest tech and business developments in New York City. Impossible we concede: comprehensive coverage of the city's every story. What we hope you'll find: tips, tidbits and perspectives you won't find elsewhere. As well as unique insights, original interviews and more that should be of interest to New York's vibrant community of technologists and those who track, invest in and report on them.
Adam Balkin of NY1 takes a look at some award-winning inventors - the "Thomas Edison’s and Alexander Graham Bell’s of today." The inventors were recently honored at Popular Mechanics Magazine's annual Breakthrough Awards Ceremony. Among the inventions noted by Balkin: a "rocket bike," the Slingbox, and several advances in assistive technologies - "work that could someday help those with spinal-cord injuries regain their movement... or allow severely disabled people to operate computers with their minds."
