I see iPhone used by heavy-metal neandertals. And senior citizens. And all sorts of people in media and marketing that think it's cool. They are probably all brushing up their Facebook updates and sharing pictures of themselves. In shopping, cooking, holidays, partying. Make imaginary jump to stone-age. Now give them iPhone and Facebook. Wow, this is cool, they think. This is what is happening now. Where are 3d-projecting interfaces? When can I interact better ways than pushing buttons, or entering text, speaking, clicking links, registering into sites, watching endless stream of advertizing, playing games, browsing long list to select, downloading updates? Digital technology and culture is like a photo-copying machine going mad, making endless repeats. Cool innovations are certainly needed. |

Steve Wozniak is one of those guys that most of us just like, regardless of what platform we use or how we feel about Apple. Not only is he one of the founding fathers of the personal computer revolution, he tells things how it is and isn't afraid to be honest, regardless of his affiliation with Apple. When speaking at TEDx Brussels, TechCrunch got a few moments afterwards with WoZ. While Steve is still a big Apple fan, TechCrunch asked a good question: Does he think Microsoft has become more innovative than Apple in recent years? His answer was interesting. Basically he applauds Microsoft for going in a new direction with Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. He also mentions the “universal translator”-like device by Microsoft Research that he says looks very innovative. [link to www.mobilemag.com] VIRTUALBLOGNEWS [link to virtualblognews.altervista.org] |
