I recently read the Horizon Report: K-12 Edition.  The Horizon report, for those of you who do not know, is a comprehensive research venture that attempts to identify new and emerging trends and technologies in education.  The report addressed six emerging technologies that are reshaping the way teachers teach.  Of the six mentioned I am most excited about natural user interfaces.  Natural user interfaces allow the movements and gestures of people to control the operation of a device, program or system.  The most popular example of this type of technology is the XBox kinect.  The kinect device allows gamers to control the action through body gestures rather than a conventional remote control.  I am really compelled by the idea of technology adapting to the individual and creating a level playing field for every user, something every teacher who has had a special needs student has craved for.  For years technology has been developing new "user friendly" ways to both sell a product and exciting the user.  As technology has expanded to every aspect of our life, the increasing demand to need technology has made the way we use technology as important as the devices themselves.  Gesture based interfaces have dominated the technology market over the past two years.  Cell phones and tablets are popular for both their convenience and portability.  They are both, however, embraced for the gesture based interface that appeals to all ages.
