Right now, you should be excited! Why? Because we're excited….because what you’re about to see is simply the coolest thing we've seen this summer!

Feast your eyes on two awe-inspiring items: The Leap Motion and the Youm Screen by Samsung.

Let's talk about Leap first.

If you've ever seen a Kinect used with an Xbox 360, you can rest assured that this will not overwhelm the average user. 

It's a sensor that you place near your keyboard that utilizes the entirety of the air space above it, sensing all hand and finger motions with remarkable precision. The company behind the product has also launched a store with compatible apps.

You no longer need a mouse, keyboard, or trackpad. You can just use your hands. 

 

 

If your mind hasn't been blown yet, just wait.

You'll never break your screen again. In fact, you may have nothing but a screen housed in your next smartphone.

At their recent CES conference, Samsung debuted their Youm screens, incredibly thin, plastic OLED screens. These screens can bend, distort, etc, without breaking, losing quality, or suffering any longterm creases.

Samsung debuted how these screens could potentially be used in phones, allowing message display even when phone is covered, as well as the potential for new slide out screens and tablets that fold in half to become a phone.

They've even taken the technology and released the first curved TV. 

Socket's excited to be in an industry that continues to outdo itself for the betterment of the world around it. We love seeing advances that push today's boundaries.
