Idea Processing.... Dichotomous!!

Given the vastness and versatility of cloud computing several ideas were conceived but for one reason or the other they were collectively rejected..The team was dichotomous with Apurva and Satyan on one side and Sameer, Neha and me on the other.

Syncing music….!
Apurva and Satyan came up with the idea of using mobiles and laptops as synced devices to act as savior in situations like an unplanned party where lack of speakers wouldn’t be much of a problem as we just need 2 or more mobile phones synced with the cloud to play the same music at the same time giving a surround sound or speaker system effect. The laptops could also be synced to form a huge screen incase of a lack of projector system for a movie etc.

Why not?

It concentrated more on the digital media than the physical environment. There was no collaboration or information sharing and it limited the exploitation of cloud computing.

Food delivery!

Given that you’re a passenger travelling via train from Amsterdam to Munich. Given that it’s a 10 hour journey you wouldn't mind having a bite or two from your favorite fast food chain which is not available in the boring pantry. Using cloud you could estimate the arrival to next stop and see if it’s possible to make an order which could simply be delivered to the next station!

Why not?

It involved collaborative work but not amongst peer groups and involved more of a geographically dispersed group. The challenge specified working together with colleagues and friends we interact with everyday.

United we stand!

Ultimately both these ideas were dropped and we came back a full circle but hey! It was more of a spiral where we were more confident than anything else. At least we knew what not to work on!
