OK, bare with me as I try to slowly come into something of worth. I realize that so far, I haven't been very consistent with not only my postings, but my topics.
I've decided to try and add a little structure to my meanderings. Not too much, since it would defeat the whole purpose of calling this a meandering, but enough that if anyone including myself decide to go back and read this stuff, they (and I) would be able to make some sense out of it.
So, in order to impose a little structure I will try to have sections to each of my postings. So far, I've been able to identify 4 sections that fit into my meanderings:
1. Environment: Anything and everything that has to do with the environment, and the preserving of it. It often revolves around technologies that make use of alternative energies to power devices, vehicles, buildings... as well as new sources of energy that could help reduce our dependance on fossil fuels.
2. Connecting: Any technologies, that enable people to share thoughts, ideas, emotions, feelings, or allows them to simply express themselves as individuals would fit into this category. Coverage ranges from actual technology (such as cellphones, netbooks, WIMAX...), to services and applications (such as Facebook, Twitter, Flikr...).
3. Entertainment: This section could very well fit into the connecting part since such a large portion of entertainment involves others. But I felt like it needed it's own section, so for now, I'll keep it separate. Coverage would range from hardware used for entertainment to softwares people use and/or simply activities that are becoming more common at the time.
4. Miscellaneous: Every list somehow is not complete with an "other" bucket. I inevitbly run into some stuff that makes me go WOW this is just plain interesting! For example, I've seen a lot of stuff in the pipeline around the area of medical tech that I believe iwll have a significant impact on how people approach healthcare and taking care of themselves. I could create a medical field bucket, but somehow I don't always have something of interest in this area, so for now it's better to leave it in the miscellaneous section.
So there you have it! 4 sections for our eyes to feast on. It's entirely possible that some of these section will read, "Nothing new of interest, better luck next time!" or something of the sort. That, of course, is the point of me meandering as oppose to hunting down relentlessly a single topic. Plus, it kind of fits my style of research.
