I subscribe to several blogs via RSS to try to stay updated on the crazy stuff that’s going on around the world. I think people are in a mood to innovate lately, but sometimes they can go astray.
Take the WikiReader, for instance. Now, I could be wrong, but it seems to me that everyone already has this functionality in their pockets. They’re called cell phones, and they access the actual internet where Wikipedia lives.
The WikiReader, as I understand it, updates itself quarterly, and not for free either.
I guess if you intend to look up this or that on Wikipedia and you’re nowhere near any sort of technology for long periods of time it could make sense, but I don’t think it’s going to be a runaway hit. It seems to me that in that case you could take a book or print a few things out.
Seems to me like a mark missed, but I have been wrong before!
