-Using music/sounds as a means to convey unspoken emotions in mobile interactions.
Why: The visual and emoticons available on pdas/mobile phones up to this point are much less interesting then those available in desktop/laptop/devices with bigger screens.
-Mindmap device. A software/application that 1)record everything the corpus/word that the user type on any computer device in order to collect and record learning experience; analyze the thought process of students, in order for teachers to better understand how students think about issues, solve problems, and acquire knowledge
Scope of access of privacy has to be negotiated. How much do students want their teachers know about what, how, why they think and do?
-expand further on previous idea: an ideal mobile communication device that can collect, mine, analyze the emotional, physiological state of users so to better understand each other and enhance better communication..like it can tell you what kind of perfume your blind date on phone is wearing..far-fetched? Maybe. Impossible? Probably not.
Ultimately a super device that would replace/replicate the senses, the tangibles of face-to-face social interactions.
