I
am avid e-book reader since last few years but once upon a time during rainy
days I used sit in my room with my favorite novel and a cup of hot coffee with
"samosa" and read it.
I
feel e-book let me allow read whenever I am free time.And its mobility and
availability through help of any smart device make it more preferable to me.
But
I crave more human touch in it ....
I
miss the comfort and simplicity of a paperback book, its smell and the
experience of laziness and coziness attached to it.
My
idol +Steve Jobs had described iPad as "...strategy is
really simple. What we want to do is we want to put an incredibly great
computer in a book that you can carry around with you and learn how to use in
20 minutes ... And we really want to do it with a radio link in it so you don’t
have to hook up to anything and you’re in communication with all of these
larger databases and other computers"
But
I am waiting for someone taking such user experience to next level.
Where
is the next +Apple Inc. ???
It's
my request to all the brilliant minds out there to come op with a technology
which has a simple usage but also can me make me experience the human touch.
I
know I am becoming greedy!! But what can I do I am a spoiled being of this
Digital Age who is getting used to innovation of new technologies and their
ever decreasing life cycle.
And
I guess it’s take a brilliant moment of realization from an inventor's mind to
work on already existing technologies and develop something brilliant.
Like
fibre optics are existing since 19th century but it was only around 1970's the
problem of attenuation (degrading of signal or connectivity over a distance)
was given a thought.
And
we all know what it had led to --> The “Internet".
And
its the simplicity of thought process and few -- accidentally lucky --
"eureka" moments that had given birth to few of the greatest
invention that had changed the world.
For
example : Discovery of microwave oven by an engineer Percy Spencer while
US company +Raytheon was carrying out wartime experiment of
magnetron tubes used in radar defence.And the lucky incident was that a
chocolate in his pocket was melting due to "microwave" and he
implemented it into a box and what impact it had on our lifestyle!!
And
such examples can go on and on ...
I
am sure like lots of you out there I am also waiting for more such magic moment
to happen!!!
