  • An idea worth spreading

    To create better stories or reports or any written communication, i'd like to see a virtual keyboard (or touchscreen) that a user selects whole words or sentences. The "word" processor becomes a report or story processor and guides the writer... offering word choices that are filtered for relativity or expanded. Behind the scenes an image library would have pictures or cartoons ready to inject and whilst we are writing the PC searches for others thoughts on the topic to bring young and old minds together. The current technology and the very idea thst we still use keyboards and punch words out of a QWERTY contraption really limits our ability to compose, create and expolre what's in our heads. I intende to work with my 12 year old on using math models and different sentence structures to create a madlib version of this story writer, but would liek to see technology and inputs to PCs change significantly to supercharge our ability to share ideas.

  • A reply on Talk: Rachel Armstrong: Architecture that repairs itself?

    Nov 12 2009: Mankind the microbe destiny... that is funny. Everthing presented here can not be taken as an end all to design or architecture. I think this creates discussions for a blending of the best. Nanotechnolgy and "living" laquers that clean the air, fight bacteria or glass windows that clean themselves... all countless combinations of dreamy ideas constrained by the realities of cost, time and putting the ideas into production. There is no bottomline unless that is a platform from which we create more ideas. Some of those will be practical, marketable and beneificial to both mankinds desire for amenities and good for the environment... and all will be designed by humans for humans not microbes.
  • A reply on Talk: David Keith's unusual climate change idea

    Nov 4 2009: Reducing sunlight over the poles, where crops are not grown much. But if it does not come in we can work on less heat escaping. Biggest dilemma is accepting this and not fixing our CO2 emmision problem.
