I wish Google could be used in other ways...
-
I was searching my room for a misplaced video game when I thought: I wish I could use Google to search more than the internet. What if I could use Google to search my bedroom for stuff. Yes, it is that messy, I'm a college student for pete's sake. No, but seriously, what other applications could you think Google could be used for in the real world. I tell ya, I wish I had Google for my bedroom. I don't know, a stupid geeky thing I just thought of. P.S. Yes, we all know about Google and Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Who am I? Currently: A Programming Student trying to survive school with plan to go on to Univeristy of Advancing Technology to study game design. Main career interest include: Multimedia and game programming. Working on an outside project: A game for the GamePark32 (GP32) portable gaming console. My website: www.GP32US.com

Just wait for every single object from a toaster to it's slice of bread being tagged with a radio frequency ID tag. Then wait a bit longer for every room, passage, sidewalk and lift to be fitted with RFID scanners. Then you can use Google to find that one pair of clean* underpants in the heap of clothes. Man, all those privacy nutte... advocates will flip at that. * It would know they are clean because it would have tracked it from the washing machine, back to your room and then noted it had not left or moved about your room since. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "All Corvettes are red.

Of course. Each slice of pizza, each molecule in your beer, all wasps (dead or otherwise) and ceiling plaster flakes will be tagged and bagged and tracked and privately invaded in the nastiest of ways. Of course if you are a normal developer then a toxic spill could happen over your underpants and you wouldn't care before putting them on and going out on a date... with your mom. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "All Corvettes are red.

I'm glad I'm not a normal developer then......... That's because I went out with your mum instead ;P She says "Hi", by the way :-) (Actually, I spent half my weekend dressed up as a pirate for the local panto, but I don't think that's normal developer behaviour either :-)) -- Ian Darling "The moral of the story is that with a contrived example, you can prove anything." - Joel Spolsky

I have two replies for you: "You leave my mother out of this and I will leave this, *grabs crotch*, out of your mother." (damn, forgot we are not in school anymore, worked back then) and: A man who spent all weekend dressed as a pirate for a panto has no leg (peg or not) to stand on in insulting another man's social life. :P I spent most of my weekend hiking to a beautiful waterfall and enjoying a fantastic lunch in just my cosy as I floated in the pool at the bottom. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "All Corvettes are red.

I spent most of mine yanking wires through conduit - a 2-hour task that ended up taking 5 hours because of the ineptitude of the previous installers of a few wires in the same pipe - then 6 hours trying to save a PC infected with teenagers and their penchant for stealing music and the viruses that come with indiscriminant downloads.

A few months ago I was saying the same thing about google and RFID tags. We were looking through all the Microsoft subscription CDs trying to find a specific one. We weren't even sure if we had it. ------------------------------------------ Law of Nazi Analogies: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. In any debate, Hitler's opinion on the subject is automatically the evil one, so it had better be contrary to the side you're arguing.

Damn good idea that. Got boxes of MSDN CDs and rifling through them is a mission. Even if one could buy an RFID tag-gun and custom do it. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "All Corvettes are red. Everything else is just a mistake."
