CORNING -a mind-blowing concept of future glass

    CORNING- a made of glass is the about the technology of glass that we are going to use
in near future.


  "CORNING" many of them will not be familiar with this word. now let me tell what it is about!.
   Corning's history is filled with breakthrough role in the way the world works, day-in and day-out.
Drawing on more than 160 years of invention, corning has positioned itself as the world leader in
specialty glass and ceramics,creating and manufacturing keystone components that enable 
high-technology systems. 

    So corning-the future of glass enabling the future communication ,
 collaboration and connectivity.
   The process of is to make the glass ultra-thin,durable and stronger.
Making the stronger glass called gorilla glass  is done by corning process.

  "Gorilla Glass" could one day become a household phrase, but Corning has even larger ideas.

     "A Day Made of Glass 2" is a montage of "how highly engineered glass, with companion technologies, will help shape our world," according to Corning. It is mind-blowing to imagine
everyday objects suddenly having rich, interactive displays and multiple functionalitis.
     After watching the video, I began to think about how intelligent glass, installed on a broad scale, could change the world. There are two key integrations: in the education and medical fields.




    In this video, kids sit in rows of workstations in a classroom with a large, interactive touch-screen display and a teacher. Computers show only what is on the main display with no distractions. The menu system and interactive features, combined with a teacher's expertise, compel the kids to pay attention and learn. I certainly feel this is what education could be, and should be. Just seeing the purported UI reminds me of how it is sad that we'll see something like this in a mobile device before we see it integrated into our schools.

    There's also a portrayal of a hospital with fancy futuristic Corning glass setups. Aside from the expected tablets for carrying around information and status. The clip shows a doctor video-conferencing with another doctor thousands of miles away.


   The psychics at Corning also suggest that hospital rooms in the future could be made entirely of high-tech specialty glass that could offer antimicrobial qualities that "inhibit the growth of microorganisms."
   There are many more examples that we could speak about from this video. By the way, This is
not a story of glass.
    Its a story about shift in a way we comminucate,collaborate and use the technology
 in the future.
