The lecture about mobile phone inspired me. Most examples given by Sven Tollmien are about entertainment and consuming, but how these personal Mobile Terminal can help creating products and fortune?
What is the most frequently used tool to study,record info, create idea, make design?
Pen and Paper!
Everyone use them almost everyday, and their thousands of years usage history have proven them as crucial tools for creation. Nowadays they both have great potientials to be updated digitally and become magic tools!
As an architect I have used various kinds of pens for sketching, drawing, rendering and recording. They do help me a lot, they are not only objective tools to illustrate things, they also give me confidence and pleasure when I use them. Today lots of designers have to use mouse to make drawing on computer, but they definitely prefer to use pen directly to do it, like the older generations. The best masterpieces in human history are all made by hand originally, even some new products or architectures get it's origional appearence by sketch on paper.
Now we have chances to throw away mouses and go back to the adorable pens again!
Here are some new(or potential) technologies could make this happen:
Stylus for Iphone touch screen
This stylus and the touchscreen give you experience as normal paper and pens, you can write note and also make sketch with it.
Tablet and painting software
Some laptop company such as Lenovo and Fujitsu, and Pen Tablet maker Wacom have designed various products, with the help of some outstanding software such as Corel Painter, artist can make painting like on paper.
Tablet by Wacom:
Corel Painter
If the screen could be expand to bigger size then it could be utilized more broaderly, maybe in the future we can just put a thin tablet like paper on desk and then draw architecture plan on in, then zoom freely by fingers just like in Iphone, and edit it like in Autocad, make 3D model in it like in Sketchup, then designers don't need to use mouse and keyboard anymore, they will enjoy the fun of working like Leonardo da Vinci, creat the future of city and lifestyle with flawless experience.
It's not a fiction!
Touch interface like Minority Report
Now we have: Microsoft Surface
