Wednesday we had a presentation of the book Smart Mobs. I couldn't believe this book was written in 2001. It incorporated many ideas that I have had myself that I thought were original. The idea of a tracking system for buses that would tell you how far away they were or if you had just missed them. That was my idea! How hard would it be to put a GPS tracker on a bus and setup a simple system to estimate arrival times.
Also they talked about being able to take a picture of a plant and using the internet to instantly identify it. I thought that was my idea.
Anyway back to the book. They talked about some weird stuff about gangs of texters. I dont get it. Anyway I might want to check this book out.
