Quickie Post It Notes

Convergence within technology has been a hot topic for number of years now. Back in the dark ages the thought of being able to watch TV on your walkman or surf the interent on your mobile seemed a tad ridiculous. Obviously we can do all of these things and more now.

Great - but let's throw this into the mix...how ridiculous does it sound that in the future we may be able to scribble a post it note to someone and the message you write appears on their desktops, mobile phones or PDA's???!!! It sounds pretty far fetched huh? Well check this out...



Designed by a PHD student in India, the project explores how the use of RFID, Artificial Intelligence and ink recognition technologies can make it possible to create intelligent sticky notes that can be searched, located, can send reminders and messages, and more broadly, can help us to seamlessly connect our physical and digital worlds.

How it could realistically fit into our professional lives remains to be seen, exciting though isn't it?
