Throughout my adult life, I have been thinking up various applications for technology. I can remember sitting in a bar called Peabody’s in Binghamton NY discussing the possibility of inventing vending machines that would be placed in college dorms to dispense soft-serve ice cream cones.
That concept never really took off, but that kind of thought process has remained a constant for me.
Most of the ideas lose some steam and fade away, but some developments actually take root and turn into something functional. Presently, I’m not considering turning my attention to bringing something else to life, it’s more like I am making a wish list and expecting today’s great innovators to come along and meet my demands.
I am thinking about my IPhone and the amazing applications that are being developed. There is a great two part series rundown of IPhone applications at Todd Crawford’s blog called Todd Talks. I recommend looking over his advice and choosing the most appropriate applications for your needs.
The application that I want to see developed for my IPhone corresponds with my growing frustration whenever visiting medical treatment facilities. There is great debate about letting a company like Google store your personal medical records, prescriptions, allergies and all pertinent information in their vast databases for access via ubiquitous web applications. This certainly raises serious concerns over patient privacy and many health care industry regulations would have to be amended to prevent unlawful searches.
