I agree that, besides some extra security, it wouldn't be much better than normal wifi, but the infrastructure wouldn't have to be too complicated.

The prototypes are large and clunky and work need a box that you need to connect with an ethernet cable, but there are available methods to transmit data over internal power lines. If the technology becomes compact enough, that you can fit a transmitter, receiver, and powerline network adapter into a single lightbulb, then all the lights in a building can essentially become one massive access point without having to run extra cabling.

You could argue that if this became acceptable practice, the price of such expensive bulbs (and USB adapters for workstations) might be diminished by not having to run tens of thousands of feet of ethernet everywhere in a large building (though that would probably never happen. Physical connections are too useful.)

You can buy the Lego robots, though they are a bit pricey. We had a bunch in our CS department for introductory robotics courses. Amazon link

It's cool that someone spent the time to develop this, but I guarantee it's not worth the effort.

I've tried the laser projection keyboard that cost $100+ and they aren't even close to being worth it. It's cool, but it misses keypresses and quickly becomes frustrating.

The paper keyboard seems to provide no real benefits over the software keyboard. It would also use substantially more battery by having the camera on all the time.

They already make those stupid wristbands for the iPod nano.

I personally would be satisfied with a Pebble.
