[etech] Day 2 – Tom Igoe – Net Objects
Tom describes student projects. [I missed many of these]
– A purse displays when wifi is present
– A protest button initiates a DOS attack on a nearby malevolent corporation
– “Needies” — stuffed animals with mp3 players. If two get together, they talk shit about others behind their backs.
– CareNet displays grandma’s life signs around the edge of an electronic photo of her
– Junkie’s Little Helper: If levels of meds in a med cabinet drops low, it goes on line and alerts IRC chats that the person is high
– Ku: It communicates sadness over the Net. You sit in a chair waiting for the ceiling to cry on you because someone is sad. (A water pump is involved.)
– White stone: A stone gets warm when someone sends you a hug.
