Well here we go on trip No 2!!
Having realised that the architecture for the 1st "hosting" of the MacBook in the car was a little haphazard, Johanna decided to go looking for a more stable structure to support our trips on the road!
She found of all things a pink milk crate!! Now I have sat on some things in a car, but never a crate - most uncomfortable indeed - and especially of all colours a pink one!
Anyway, not being deterred, I allowed myself (lol) to be strapped into the passenger seat (ummm.... odd considering that this seat is usually my driving seat here in the UK), I called Julia (who will be coming with me to the US this Sunday) and we both settled down to waiting for the trip to begin!!
Leaving Johanna's house, going down her drive and out onto the road, really was an amazing experience for both Julia and I. We were literally seeing in real-time where we would be staying in just 4 days time.
I really could wax lyrical on the amazing-ness of this technology all day and just for a little while I will, because this technology is world revolutionary.
For me the implications and ramifications are completely staggering. Doing this type of thing will completely change how we as humans view this planet!
It is changing how we do business in the world..., how and who we connect with and when.., who we have a relationship with..., how often we connect with someone many miles away..., how we have meetings... and how we hold them... and of course - where. Where - virtually of course!!
Imaging you are going out on a blind date and with you you have your buddy in a box to make sure you are safe. Imaging meeting someone 2000 miles away and you both want to be in business together - no problem.... you can be buddies in the box! And imagine your child is off for her/his 1st trip without you...... no problem..... you can be their "mom" (buddy) in the box. And imagine you are an elderly person living alone and you could connect up with other people and have as many buddies in the box as you would want! In fact talking about "dating" you can even meet up with each other well before you reveal to the other person where in the world you are!!
Now that's a revolution!!
What an amazing new world it is!!
