These slides are created "JUST 4 FUN" co-authored by me, Tami Honesty and my 12-year old son, Noah. It is the result of a conversation my son started, wishing Facebook had a video-chat feature....from there we started brainstorming! Fun, thinking exercise with my kid, lol! I actually think some of this stuff exists but not in popular, full functioning form. Some of these ideas have legs.
12. iWish I could travel to foreign countries with the ability to use my phone as a mobile translator, simply placing it on speaker – as I talk it translates.
20. For example, ordering McDonald’s in Russia: iWish to use my speaker phone to order Big Mac, Fries and Rootbeer, then mobile translates English into spoken Russian (vice–versa) serving as a personal translator.
21. What if I ateat a Makhachkala, Dagestan Restaurant ?
22. What if I eat at a Makhachkala, Dagestan Restaurant? iWish, I could scan the menu through mobile photo, select my language and receive a written translation back.
23. iWish Foursquare, wouldn’t allow for locations to be duplicated, but would alert users to new badge opportunities creating a better sense of game-play and competition.
24. Now that Gmail has “Priority Inbox” iWish the “Star” graphic served a new function, like safe-mode for “Never Delete” mail.
25. iWish for an answer to the “Texting and Driving” phenomenon, like an in-car device that syncs with driver’s mobile, if it detects text messages being sent while driving it sends an alert to parent.
26. iWish $20 dollars could be transferred from one person (mom) to another (me) using our mobile phones. Slick way to get $20 bucks Fast!
27. iWish for a web, In Memoriam, to honor all those who have passed on, a social network to preserve their profiles, writings, pictures, history – celebrate their lives. Perhaps offering a “forever hosting plot” to endlessly preserve their online presence.
28. iWish Facebook and Twitter were more like LinkedIn, allowing us to export friend’s information, easily converting it into a .CSV file.
29. iWish Facebook had Skype-like features, or worked like ooVoo! Video Chat and Conferencing would be the bomb, on Facebook!
30. iWish Google had an app for their new “Voice Calls from Gmail” feature, that would allow users to make the same free calls cellphone to cellphone, or mobile to computer, and even like Skype, computer to computer.
31. iWish, Pandora streamed in Mom’s car. Again, without plugging something into dash - Oh, great sound quality too!
32. ONE teeny-tiny Last Wish! iWish Everyone in the world had access to computers, internet and mobile technology through recycled devices.
33. ONE teeny-tiny Last Wish! iWish Everyone in the world had access to computers, internet and mobile technology through recycled devices. Lessening the Digital Divide and Repurposing e-Waste.
34. iWish, I could use this for a school project later this year!
35. iWish they would get-off computer and take me for a walk! iWish we were connected! @TamiHonesty
