The Shape of Things to Come?
Posted by: Steve Hamm on December 24
In my role as Tech Channel editor for BW Online today, I prowled the online tech sites in search of important tech news. First stop, techmeme.com, where the top item was about the large and growing number of fart applications on Apple’s iPhone store. These are applications that make fart sounds under various conditions. There are 50 of them, and some earn as much as $10,000 a a day, according to the report from VentureBeat. At the risk of taking this too seriously, I feel compelled to make a couple of comments. First, what is the tech industry coming to? And, second, what is the media industry coming to? Enough said.
Thank you for your interest. This blog is no longer active.
