Siftables: just friggin COOL

Pretty cool. It's nothing mindblowing, but it's nice seeing lots of "basic" technologies combined in such a small space, with relatively small tasks being assigned to them. The fun is seeing them work together. The math program was cool to watch as it dynamically changed the equation depending on the position of the number blocks in relation to the functions. I can imagine this stuff being great once it comes down in price for kids and games.

I saw it basically an an educator's wet dream. 🙂
 
I was thinking about something similar recently, small connectable computers with surface OLED screens all contained within a small block. You could connect as many as you want for a on-the-fly supercomputer. Connect a PSU block (or link a few together for more juice) at the end, and you could run it off AC power. Kinda like smart LEGOs, which is pretty close to what these guys are doing.

Absolutely. Imagine these things getting cheap enough to supply a class of 30 an entire set of these. Kids would be playing with blocks while learning math and other things 😛
