A new iPhone application offers to help you understand how happy you are, and what makes you happy, by tracking what factors are associated with your personal happiness.
The TrackYourHappiness application is actually part of psychology research being performed by Matt Killinsgworth at Harvard.  The site identifies the mission of the project as a
&#8220;new scientific research project that aims to use modern technology to help answer this age-old question. Using this site in conjunction with your iPhone, you can systematically track your happiness and find out what factors for you personally &#8211; are associated with greater happiness.&#8221;

So they decided to tempt the cash tight loiterers by moving their menus into the wifi menu, constantly changing their network name from &#8216;CoffeeCompany&#8217; to titles like &#8220;HaveYouTriedTheCarrotCake?&#8221; and &#8220;Mmm&#8230;YummyMuffinsOnly1,99&#8243;.  Clever solution. But definitely opening the door to some awkward situations; patrons planning to connect to the network may find it a little uncomfortable double checking with store staff whether &#8220;BuyAnotherCoffeeYouCheapskate&#8221; is [...]]]></description>

Their &#8220;future vision on manufacturing&#8221; concept video brings to life many advances that seem rather intuitive: ubiquitous touchscreen interfaces, holographic video conferencing, virtual paper, 3-D guided assembly processes, and a host of other efficiency boosting technologies.

While every day seems to see the launch of some new gadget, application, or other efficiency-boosting device, Pew reveals that our experience with the latest technology is often far from efficient.  Specifically:

Nearly half (48%) of American adults who use the internet or have a cell phone say they usually need someone else to set up a new device up for them or show them how to use it.

		<description><![CDATA[On Nov. 22, Virgin America will be unveiling their much-anticipated in-flight Gogo internet service on a special beta flight above San Francisco. To build some buzz around the launch, they&#8217;ve partnered with YouTube to offer the &#8220;first-ever live, air-to-ground video-stream&#8221; which will broadcast to an estimated 20 million viewers online, as well as a sea of onlookers at the YouTube Live event in San Francisco.
Starting in late November, Virgin will continue rolling out the Gogo service on more flights (one plane a week), making it the first US carrier to offer fleet-wide wifi by the second quarter of 2009.

		<description><![CDATA[Ivan Tihienko has created a very impressive concept for computing on the go.  As an alternative to PDAs or mobile phones, Ivan has designed a personal computer system that enables users to manage their schedules, send emails, get GPS directions, listen to music, and play interactive games through a holographic projection system that projects the images on the ground in front of the user.  Like an iPhone you can control with your entire body, both hands and feet are utilized to navigate through the interface.

		<description><![CDATA[Jan Chipchase offers some interesting thoughts on the iPhone and what &#8220;Airplane Mode&#8221; says about our evolving relationship towards mobile devices. The creation of this switch that stops our phones from making and receiving calls, but keeps its other functions intact is, in Chipchase&#8217;s view, a reflection of how our phones have become more than just phones. Or perhaps become something else entirely. He writes:
The inclusion of an Airplane Mode on the 3G iPhone is pretty obvious design choice right? It’s a well implemented feature that is both easy to access and easy to communicate the current state of connectivity [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s NY Times Magazine features a thoughtful meditation on virtual relationships, &#8216;digital intimacy&#8217; and the effects of our ever-revelatory online behavior on our real-life social and emotional lives. Clive Thompson takes a look at the growing universe of social networking and broadcasting on the web (resulting in a sort of vague omniscience coined &#8220;ambient awareness&#8221;) and asks how its increasing ubiquity is changing the way we socialize, keep in touch with friends and acquaintances, and come to perceive both ourselves and those we &#8216;know&#8217;.
Thompson discusses the complexities of the interconnectedness we experience via Twitter updates and Facebook newsfeeds: on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jan Chipchase recently posted his presentation &#8220;Future Social&#8221;, a study of how the ubiquity of mobile technology is changing our social spaces, and vice versa. Chipchase&#8217;s tireless investigation into the ways people interact with technology around the world, in vastly different contexts, results in some great insight in &#8220;Future Social&#8221;. In his words:
A summary [of Future Social]? As much of the stuff that we use to do things becomes smaller and end up in more (social) contexts we will not only evolve new use-practices but it puts a greater emphasis on communicating our intended use to people in proximity.

		<description><![CDATA[
When I saw this image of an iPhone equipped fridge on DesignBoom&#8217;s site it reminded me of the opinion piece I wrote way back about the Phone As Conduit. While I think the Gorenje fridge-freezer fits in the novelty bucket pretty well &#8211; it does hint at the notion of the phone being a device we use to create entertainment experiences by connecting it to other &#8216;players&#8217; as we move about.
Here&#8217;s the thinking back from March 2006:
So here&#8217;s an idea that struck us today. Let&#8217;s combine two theories: first, one day all our entertainment media will be virtual and we&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oli Laurelle has created a stunning flickr set of images showcasing the fluctuating prevalence of wireless technology on her different journeys through Europe. The picture above is a data visualization of the wireless access she picked up on a 45 minute car ride from a village to a city. 451 wireless nodes were recorded, with the red circles representing those with WEP encryption, the blue = WPA encryption, and the yellow = no encryption. Interesting to see the shifting levels of security and access moving from small town (non-existent) to big city (ubiquitous). See more photos at Invisible Journeys.
