Update on some previous blogs
So remember how I said that Myspace's only chance was music? Well looks like they had the same idea as well. According to Hypebot though its not enough. Do you remember that idea that I wasn't a fan of with starbucks and they prepaid program through your smartphone? Well google decided "hey we can do that but we'll use it for everybody not just cofee." This website talks a little bit about it. I'm still not a fan though of making payments with your phone, you need to take your wallet with you anyways might as well take out your credit card. Finally Facebook is trying to come out with a new search engine. It bases your searches based on your friends interests. The first thing that comes to mind was that I felt sorry for people with really dumb friends on their Facebook. Not sure that this is the right step for Facebook and that they are spending money of something that is leading them in the wrong direction in innovation.

The part where you say that we need to take our wallets with us anyways due to ID is true for now but what is to stop Google from making a system where your ID is not on your phone and there is no more need for a driver's license? Soon all we will need will be our cellphones and not another thing. Even our birth certificates can be on there...wouldn't that be insane? Insane but possible.
ReplyDeleteNow about Facebook...that's so funny I never thought of "what if my friends are all dumb?" but I think they are doing it more based on people with your same interests so not everyone can be that dumb...or can they?
