A new category of projectors is about to come out. About the size of one of those candy-bar style cellphones, it fits in the palm of your hand. David Pogue calls it “A whole new product category[...] [it] changes all the rules.” I would agree. I don’t think it will revolutionize the world, I woudn’t call it a game changer of any sort, but I think in a very short time it will become as ubiquitous a device as the iPod, and it will change the rules in terms of what you can do with and how you watch your portable video. Personally, I’m very excited to see all of the new uses and possibilities artists and hackers will come up with. I’m definitely looking forward to that.
Clay Shirky is one of the smartest people thinking about and explaining the social effects of the interenet out there. Check out this video from the Web 2.0 Expo NY. Also if you haven’t already you should definately get his book Here Comes Everybody and read it cover to cover, it will explain all of those questions and thought bubbles that pop into year head as you traverse the internet landscape.
