Phone-based tickets
National Rail tickets are paper-based with a magnetic stripe as local storage
You can finally buy tickets using apps (although not National Rail's).
Infuriatingly Great Western's app makes you enter your credit card details in for each transaction; this is more secure than storing the details I guess, but having to get a card out in public as you enter all the digits again is just asking for someone to snatch the card and/or phone...

The flip side
I know a talented female computational scientist who now is worried that whenever she gets a talk or poster accepted that it's because of her gender and not because of its content... I can't imagine that giving female and non-white scientists "imposter syndrome" is the aim of the speakers who are pulling out.

Re: Proof of concept
I'm less hot on doctors being able to ask the machine what it is they're looking at. Replacing doctor's knowledge with a machine's knowledge just feels wrong to me somehow. If I am to be treated, I want to be treated by a doctor, not a guy who's googling the problem.
Medicine is becoming too complex for a human to understand; some kind of system is needed to produce recommendations. For example, breast cancers in research are often classified with "PAM50", you can guess how many categories there are :)

ARM is also promising for another reason. It’s cheaper than “conventional whole-slide scanners” by about one or two magnitudes, apparently.
Although this is much cheaper than a slide scanner, they're not really a replacement. A slide scanner basically has a load of slides loaded in a rack which it then scans at a high resolution automatically; this solution has the scientist/doctor take each slide one by one and then move the slide around the "stage" and then look at the bits they think they're interested in. If you have lots of slides to look at then you'd really prefer to have them scanned automatically, you can then zoom into the bits of tissue that you're interested in like you would with something like Google Earth.
As an aside, I was involved in setting up the infrastructure for the first one of these the a research site had. We almost pooed ourselves because they thought the scanner would generate 1TB a year :-D
