Some Concepts

Some of the concepts we wanted to look at in relation to communication and connecting people:

  • How can technology fix communication issues?
    • If you can’t hear your friends at a bar, some sort of audio network could alter volumes other than your groups voices.
    • Multitouch displays can be easier to use for those less computer savvy, they could make more recent electronic forms of communication more accessible.
  • Staying together, despite geography.
    • A family that splits up and moves around the world as time goes on, but can stay in touch with modern communication techniques.
  • Handsfree. It should be more common, especially with phones. Texting and talking on phones is pretty hard to do while doing anything else.
  • Propagation of ideas through a network.
    • With facebook, twitter, youtube etc when someone puts their idea out there, it can very quickly spread through their networks or the public network. I believe this infomation flow has very positive effects on the rate at which we evolve.
