Around the World

August 28, 2003

Warren Ellis is having people send him photos with their phones.    (K5)

There are many entries, each with two pictures a piece, and a little blurb.    (K6)

On the one hand, it is awesome and compelling looking at the various things people have chose to send him; pictures from around the world.    (K7)

On the other hand, this is a very small segment of the world: the world made up the people with the money and leisure to live the life of the future phone.    (K8)

Is that gang going to pull us into a world of happy information sharing peers or once they have a sufficient number of pals, do they roll up the carpets, close the gates, and turn themselves into a class?    (K9)

I'm split.    (KA)

Just for the record - the photo I took was with my offices digital camera, not a futurephone. Lots of other images have been taken with crappy $50 webcams rather than phonecams as well.    (KB)

Turn into a class? What if my answer is "They already have"?    (KW)
