Computers as entertainment devices
newman42 thinks: I like the idea of keeping things separate. Gaming consoles tend to upgrade every four or five years while computers used for things such as email and web browsing could potentially last a lot longer without needing upgrading. This could at least slow down obsolescence to some extent without detracting from the experience. Microsoft's Xbox 360 is a great example of keeping these systems separate while still coexisting and sharing resources.

Parking in the big city
newman42 thinks: Here's a great way to minmize the frustration of finding a parking spot, a website that finds it for you. It's a great idea but probably needs a portable version to be viewed on your web enabled cellphone or other portable internet device. This site is only in beta version, but it's definitely a start in making parking in congested areas much easier.

RFID, help or hype?
newman42 thinks: There is great potential for RFID, but it's just a matter of finding practical and useful reason to use it. Yes, it currently lacks the security necessary, but I have no doubt that technology currently under development will eliminate these risks.

Cell Phones in Cinemas
newman42 thinks: It should be up to the individual to show common courtesy when in a movie theater. Adding additional technology to eliminate this inconvenience would only result in higher ticket prices and considering the current price to see a movie, it may soon become a luxury just to go to a theater to see a movie.

Are newspapers and magazines a dying medium?
newman42 thinks: I've seen that the internet version of a newspaper or magazine has beome more of a supplement and not a replacement for the medium. I don't think the need to have a form of portable reading material will go away any time soon especially considering the resources needed for electronics versions and the difficulty of reading on a computer or other type of screen.

ztyler thinks: How about riding a bicycle instead. It's good exercise and doesn't harm the environement.

Parking in the big city
Alexkaatsch thinks: In this age of global-warming and the politically correct desire to make us use the bus or the train instead.... we need a fundamental new principal entrenching in out governance. We need ALTERNATIVES if other things are to be removed from our freedom to do them. No parking in town ?..... good bus serevice and parking OUT of town (but at the LEAST as good as before, hopefully better ). No dogs allowed to poop in the park ?.... somewhere to PUT the wretched stuff when one's dog (a natural creation creating a natural secretion to disperse in a natural manner) follows it's totally natural inclination ! ... of course one might argue that natural selection should be allowed to run it's course and infected children which are either too stupid or too disobedient or whose parents are too negligent to teach them should follow their natural course, hmmmn, but I imagine that few parents would agree with that particular approach, lol !

RFID, help or hype?
WavingNotDrowning thinks: RFID is an interesting technology because its is rarely the end user who has the choice as to if they use it or not. If your bank puts it in you card you have it ... basta! Therefore, RFID will become mainstrean. We will use it and like most things we will make the trade offs but will improve them over time, think car saftey.

RFID, help or hype?
Aos thinks: A great example of how RFID is making things easier, a hotel RFID wristband as your key. You'll never have to worry about losing your room key again.

Cell Phones in Cinemas
clo thinks: Nothing ruins a good movie more than someone's cellphone ringing...except possibly if they actually answer it and begin having an actual conversation.

Alexkaatsch thinks: STOP ! Understand this if you understand nothing else...... I (and doubtless millions others) do not want to be tracked AT ALL ! I am my own man, not your property, your subject of interest, your marketing tool, your political target or anything else whatever to do with you. I'll refrain from typing it, but a two-word phrase sums it up nicely and the second of those two words is 'off' !
