Vinay
Venkatraman’s : Technology crafts for
the digitally underserved
Vinay Venkatraman aims to create technological devices and
explains his vision in technology crafts. He goes in detail further when he
talks about how the mobile phone, a
lunchbox and a flashlight can become a digital projector for a village school,
or an alarm clock and a mouse can be melded into a medical device for local
triage. In the Smartphone market, the technology has been emerging and expanding
within our technologically advanced society.
Vinay (Founding partner of The Copenhagen Institute of Interaction
Design) and has a very unique perspective but pegs himself a “Frugal Digital.”
The emerging technology in the mobile phone market is very fascinating and
expands from apps that are useful in many categories. From health, business, education, and so much
more that helps users with relevant issues within these areas. When
Vinay talks about a flashlight, I often think about my flashlight app that I
currently have on my I-phone and how useful it is. Some of technology is getting more and more
innovative within the smart phone market. Some of these trends in the smart phone
world are the following:
1)
High
definition screens
2)
Quad
processors
3)
Near-field
communications (NFC)
(Ricknas,
2012).
Our think tank should focus
on the emerging technology within the mobile market and the expansion of
mobile app development.
