Interesting Quote from FREE
Thought Provoking Quote from Chris Anderson's FREE
This reminds me of hearing about David Bowie and Brian Eno recording with early synthesizers in the 70's. They felt the presets did not sound very good, as the engineers that made them tried to emulate traditional instruments. They felt that they made breakthroughs when they just started experimenting and exploring the potential.
"... a technologist's job is not to figure out what technology is good for. Instead it is to make technology so cheap, easy to use, and ubiquitous that anybody can use it, so that it propogates around the world and into every possible niche. We, the users, will figure out what to do with it, because each of us is different: different needs, different ideas, different knowledge, and different ways of interacting with the world.
