Technology Quarterly

The Economist released the latest edition of their wonderful Technology Quarterly a while back. Here are my very belated picks:

• MIT biomechanic Hugh Herr (fascinating profile and overview of his work).
• Sexing chickens (a new biochemical method to determine the sex of chickens - alas, the end of the human chicken sexers is in sight).
• The Net Generation (on whether it's useful or meaningful to talk about a new generation of "digital natives").
• Translating the web (machine translation and human translators working together. Related: this)
