So, here’s an interesting case.  When Technology finds significance in humanity, it usually serves a need of great measure. When Technology is forced into humanity, most of the time it is a gadget and ends up being a fad…it’s not sustainable.

Here is an example of technology that is bound to never make any impact on someone’s life:

A sneaker with a Wi-Fi detector built in…as if you’ll just want to walk around and stare at your feet for connectivity.

And here is an example of technology as it strives to serve a purpose:

One Laptop Per child

Mission Statement: To create educational opportunities for the world’s poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning.

  • Seriously…I can’t go on facebook and not see an Obama ad.  I couldn’t even read an article about McCain and not catch a glimpse of Obama on the sideline in a banner advertisement.

    Between that and then Obama announcing his running mate over text messaging, I don’t even think the question of who is better utliizing technology is a fair question.  Obama is going after the tech friendly crowd and his Campaign Manager (David Plouffe) is doing a great job of it.

    Check out this cool iPhone app…talk about grass roots marketing!

    It’s almost like a virus that gets into your email client and spams all of your contacts…this little application makes you hound your friends and family by battleground states.  Is this the new “sign in the yard”?

    Ah look at this…Android the Google Cell phone operating system is nearing release!  T-mobile may carry the first phones, but they’ll come with a marketplace just like Apple’s “App store” on the iPhone.

    But Android is open source so you can get some really cool applications for it.

    For example:

    How about using the camera in your phone to take a photo of a bard code on the product you are looking to buy…then having it go out on the Internet and bring back comparative prices?  Yeahhhhh baby.

    “Bye bye” new iPhone market share…I’m holding out for Android.
