Rules for demonstrating a new technology

by Ryan Lane on July 23, 2009

1. Make a Twitter application for you new technology
2. Make a Twitter / Google maps mash up to tun on the technology
3. Use the Flickr API
4. Combine Twitter, Flickr and Google maps
5. Make a game that has users upload photos to Flickr and then tweet about it for points.
6. It doesn’t matter just make it multitouch in fact if you can take input for all 10 fingers people don’t care.
7. Take all of the above and add pictures of cats with funny captions. Mmmmm… multitouch LOL cats.

Okay, don’t take number 7. I’m going to get stinky rich with my multitouch cats that crowd sources whimsical comments made via twitter. OMG, this is so going to rule the interwebs! I can see it now. You’ll control one cat on each finger, like finger puppets and then little speech bubbles will pop up on a cat and they will say things like, “IM on ur fingers Makn LOLZ”

I even made a wireframe of it.

Sixth Sense Wearable Tech

My favorite example is the book in the book store pulling up real time information from Amazon such as ratings and reviews and excepts. I do this all the time with my phone, but this would much nicer. At least when it’s a little bit smaller.
