Rise of the Technology Class

These conversations are between students from Ecuador, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Spain and the US who see technology serving a higher purpose: A counter-culture to their predecessors. This is evidence of a new type of generative class who apply technology to their creativity with art, music, science and involvement within the community. Their activity is transparent and active to our evolving civility. These multinational students are socially conscious storytellers.

Everyone in the world is conversing about the Apple iTablet.

Here is speculation from the Wall Street Journal.

Focused on the home and the classroom
Shared by multiple family members [Um, sorry sis, get yer own!]
Apple has explored electronic textbooks
Has virtual keyboard
Working with print media on text content
Working with CBS/Disney on video content
Working with EA on video game content
Talking with Microsoft about search and maps
Cable/TV providers resisting giving Apple “best” content (4-6 shows per channel), would rather it be “all” content
$499 price point
iTablet UI meant to be shareable; Apple has explored “sticky notes” as a way to share messages; facial recognition as a way of knowing who’s using it
Apple planning web-based version of iTunes called iTunes.com
“Buy” buttons would go wide on as many websites as possible
