Make things people want verses make people want things. Technology and the minutia of bullshit that proclaims to promote it get's uncovered and tortured by Steve Price, along with some examples of great things.
7. PAD: draw two cocks: one big one small
WRITE: SIZE MATTERS?
42MEGA PIXEL camera. Shit pictures on the site (no replaced).
I don’t need a camera to have 42MB per shot!
9. PAD:
WRITE: I must not write out Yahoo! 30 times x 30
Yahoo, daily logo. Fail.
10. PAD: Pebble
WRITE:
The Pebble.
‘Around the House Pebble makes it easy for you to see who is trying to reach you. You can feel incoming calls
when your hands are full. Or glance down at text messages when your phone is away.’
11. PAD: Glass or Dr Evil
WRITE:
Google Glass. Fine, if you wear glasses. Is it something I want? No.
Used to have a gf who said ‘Someone loves you’ every time anyone’s phone bleeped near her. This is validation,
proof that we’re not alone in our selves or our mind. Validation of feeling wanted, adored, popular.
Technology is becoming the new drug of choice.
12. PAD: NewsCorp logo (with devil horns)
WRITE:
Joel I. Klein (Dungeon Master) is CEO of Amplify, News Corporation’s fledgling education division.
$9 billion market for educational technology to replace text books.
NewsCorp not alone - Apple, Amazon, Samsung, Dell, Microsoft all in there.
Where’s Google?
13. PAD: i stickman child
WRITE: iSchoolKid
The Steve Jobs Schools. Just something a bit uncomfortable about this.
14. PAD: Quantum computing diagram
WRITE:
Erik Lucero, PhD has developed a Quantum Computer - capable of destroying the Internets as we know it.
OR saving the Internets.
See Notes.
17. DRAW: Binary
GitHub CEO Tom Preston-Werner.
What started out as the go-to social networking site for programmers is quickly becoming
an open source platform for all - including lawyers.
18. DRAW: Smiley face, SMS
WRITE: ‘= Buddy’
Buddy is a digital tool to support therapy services. Clients use text messaging to keep a daily
diary of what they are doing and how they are feeling, helping to spot and reinforce positive behaviors.
SMS based technology filters in to a comprehensive database to help develop their mental health.
Technology is not always about looking far forward.
19. DRAW: NFC
WRITE: Near Field Communication
Digital wallets are really only taking off in America, but it makes sense. Guess whose delaying it?
The Big Guns: Banks, Credit cards, technology manufacturers like Apple. The first to break and this
will be the future.
20. AFTER I WAS THROWN IN THE RIVER
AND BEFORE I DROWNED
by Dave Eggers
DRAW: Dog + Sun
WRITE:
READ NOTES: #XX
The one big surprise is that as it turns out. God is the sun. It makes sense, if you think about it. Why we didn’t
see it sooner I cannot say. Every day the sun was right there burning, our and other planets hovering around it, always
apologizing, and we didn't think it was God. Why would there be a God and also a sun? Of course God is the sun.
Everyone in the life before was cranky, I think, because they just wanted to know.
21. DRAW: iWatch TV screen
WRITE:
READ NOTES: #XX
Last weekend I read What if Apple’s iWatch is… a TV? By Jonny Haskins
Had the same ‘OF COURSE!’ moment... Apple’s iWatch - it’s not a Watch (dummies) it’s a TV. It makes perfect sense
23. But where do the ideas come from Steve?
DRAW: Cup of Joe
24. DRAW: Cup of Joe
WRITE:
Difficult isn’t it sometimes? the internet. Crazy, kamikaze place.
Social Media is like the pub. Some go to have quiet pint and read their paper, others for a night out,
others to ‘pull’, some to dance, and some to fuck and fight - rarely at the same time.
26. DRAW: Cup of Joe
WRITE:
Let’s take a coffee break. Wait. Not this coffee.
27. DRAW:
WRITE:
There we go! Proper Coffee. Proper Pricey!
Coffee shops are booming all over. They act as hubs for the lone wifi laptoper, the office catch-up,
the brain storm, the interview, the client meeting. It’s a place where collaborations are born. Where
ideas are spawned. But this is nothing new...

DRAW:
WRITE:
First coffee shop opened in Oxford around 1650, two years or so later the first opened on Cornhill
in London. Suddenly business went from noisy, drunken taverns to coffee houses. Business and commerce
took-off.
By no coincidence that Coffee shops have once again boomed in the last 15-20years along with global
economies, fueled by capitalism they once again act as a meeting point for minds and collaborations.
But it is the meeting of minds, or the space for one mind to develop new ideas.

WRITE:
Neurons. The human brain has billions of them. Each helping us to make decisions, control movement
and create new ideas.
So scientifically speaking an idea is a tiny neutron, one of billions. How amazing is that.

30. DRAW: A Baby horse - Colt (or Foal)
WRITE:
Kincsem, Ch.m. 1874, undefeated winner in
54 starts in five countries
Wouldn’t expect the Colt/Foal to run and win the Grand National, would you?
Ideas are the same. They need time to nurture - that’s your choice to manage it or not.
