Flash Light & other technologies
I feel like technology is moving faster than we can keep up. I am trying hard to grasp the dynamics of actionscript 2.0 and flash itself, while flash light is already being used to develop cell phone interfaces and applications. Flash Light is a simplified version of flash that handicaps the use of components and significantly scales down the flash player in order to run on small devices, such as, cell phones. Flash is surely an amazing program with design features that allow for the most creative and interesting outcomes. Therefore, the availability of such a program for use on cell phones, is fascinating and exciting. Although, James (class speaker) does not have a significant desire to use flash for altering the interface of his cell phone, I find it to be useful and stimulating. Cell phones are very expensive and consumers find great need in upgrading and refreshing the look of their phone which often come with contract gimmicks and such. If cell phone users had the option of spending a few bucks on a new interface rather than a new cell phone and a new binding contract, I believe that people would opt to upgrade their cell phones less. My opinion on this is bias, however, because I have been leared into the narrowness of a binding contract and would have favored the option of refreshing the look of my phone instead of upgrading in some cases.
It really was an amazing feeling listening to James present some of the latest “small device” technologies and there advanced features. However, I have a really hard time understanding why anyone would need such a variety of gadgets. I am all for technology and its new discoveries and advancements, but, I view some technologies as a mere distraction from life and the things and people around us. Sometimes we need to walk away from the cell phone, blackberry, ipod, handheld, mp3 player with the panoramic screen, pda, , and all the other little devices that we can fit in our pocket and remember why they don’t matter as much as what’s outside of them .
