On the eve of a launch
I guess this is the big day- or pretty close to it! Questions, questions questions.
- Why do so many websites go up, and then lag lag lag the real world ? Getting good decent information from out there is really a tough ask for an individual.
- Someone said it takes a Google search 0.08 seconds to complete, and an individual 11 minutes on an average to find anything! Will we be the spark of the revolution ?
- Who do we live for ? The “blogospehricals” ? Or is the user base out there a very different set for India ? Likely!
- Does it matter that you have 2 million documents to choose from ? Is it more meaningful to have 20 close enough and good enough ones for a whole lotta stuff in life ? Is “precise” for a need, or for what satisfies it ?
- What can the phone not get done ? Of course the answer will be a no-brainer by 2010 with 4G or WiMax being defactos and phones with real usable RAM and a decent disk. But there’s tonnes that was possible already.
- Is the web the real world ?
- Who answers the largest chunk of your questions ? Google ? Family ? Friends ? The newspaper ? Radio ? This is about the questions you have as you ‘live your life’, not Java
- Will you really research a car or a holiday destination on your phone ?
