I blogged yesterday about me ordering my new car. I am looking forward to it now – I think the DAB radio will be the newest feature (I like Radio 4 in the morning as my warm up to Starbucks!). And I am hoping that my ipod will be recognised as not just file names – but with titles of the band and the songs – something the RS4 can’t manage!
Brilliant - but what is that windows thing?
But now there is a new technology here in the form of an in-car wi-fi. Three (in a Prince-like way, formerly known as 3) have announced a broadband dongle for the car. Complete with car charger and windscreen mount – you can have your email, diary and internet access in the car!
The device is evidently made in China and looks like a small mobile phone. It will enable you to have wi-fi on the move!
So I will be able to have my ipad in my car? Or laptop. I think I may need to have a special mount made which will allow me to type? I know using the telephone (off hands-free devices) is illegal but am wondering if I will be ok typing?
Obviously I will keep my responses brief… much like I do on my iphone!
You do have to wonder where there ‘always connected’ technology will end – perhaps it won’t. At the Nottingham Contemporary exhibition last week (see blog) there was a piece of work by French artists Léonore Bonaccini and Xavier Fourt who call themslves Bureau d’Etudes. They explored this notion that we are becoming a world where computers and humans are merging.
The future is looking decidedly cyborg. I expect the ipad will soon learn to drive?
