"How to control a computer with a banana"

First off, this article can be found at: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/05/tech/innovation/jay-silver-makey/index.html?hpt=te_t1

Reading this article, I realized how much some people really contribute to the invention of new technology. Just one man, from MIT, has made many cool technological inventions with small help. One program he created is called Drawdio, which creates music as you draw. The biggest thing he is known for now is the "MaKey MaKey". This is a kit which uses simple household items which conduct electricity in order to control a computer.

This article is named "How to control a computer with a banana", because that is just one example of a fruit that can conduct electricity. I was very fascinated with this article, because I didn't think such an invention would be out yet. This just shows us how fast technology is advancing and what possibilities there will be in the future. At this pace, technology might be COMPLETELY different in probably 10-15 years. I liked this article.
