For this I Googled "best new technology" and settled on an article called "Some of the Best New Technology is Simple." Yes, it was the word "simple" that attracted me.
The article discussed 10 new pieces of technology, including an electric toothbrush that utilizes 8 microbrushes operating at 810 strokes per minute to enable you to brush both your top and bottom teeth at the same time (while massaging your gums).
The thing most pertinent to us at the library, though, is a DVD called the Total Hi-Def disc. Previously, people who bought HD-DVD players could not play Blu-ray discs, and those who bought Blu-ray players couldn't play HD-DVD. In the Total Hi-Def disc Warner Brothers offers a two-sided disc--two 0.6-millimeter discs, one HD-DVD and one Blu-ray--bonded together so the viewer can play one side if they have a Blu-ray player or the other if they have an HD-DVD player. Convenience like this could lead us to offering HD-DVD/Blu-ray DVDs before long.
