Good Morning 2/16/10
Good morning, it’s technology Tuesday I guess. I just got a Kindle and am getting the hang of it, but the iPad seems strange to me, probably because I don’t have an iPhone…Steve Jobs knew people are attached to keyboards, with the iPhone he has retrained everybody to use a tiny screen with tap-it-out screenboards. Now iPads seem like the most obvious and greatest thing evar, due to his foresight and restraint from diving into unknown markets without preparing them first. Dudes like Jobs are way ahead of us, and cleverly training our behaviors to adapt to, and thus adopt, their wares. I prefer to keep it small and feel that mobile projection has much cooler potential, so the Samsung Beam caught my eye this week. It’s an Android projector phone. NICE. Can’t wait for the hyperspeed Google-net to come to Seattle so I can stream projected movies while riding the light rail. Mayor McGInn’s already got the ask in for the fat pipe.
As software and hardware continues to develop, these items seem like lame trinkets. We’ve all heard of the robot being developed to haul old folks around their homes (yay future!). Now a robot can draw a nice picture of you too.
Robots are even making more robots (yikes?).
That’s all, except for the fact that the Robot Wars have begun.
