Will mobile phones break the the language barriers one day?

If you are a mobile phone user its not rare to find yourself on one side of the conversation struggling to express or understand the other person because either of you cannot communicate the other language well. Imagine small time business people whom you cannot expect to know a common language like english, or places like India where there are severel languages. They will really have tough time to close the deals. Are the days far when this barrier will be broken?.

We are seeing language converters rampant, well I heard that at the UNO conferences the world leaders get to hear the speech given in some other language translated impromptu, when the other speakers speak in their own language. If that level of speech recognition and translation is implemented is that so tough for a mobile company to provide a language translation service as part of the normal service or is it that it does not really make good business sense? I donot know but I would like to see such things one day.
Foget about the telephone companies, Iam sure skype, msn messenger, google talk,yahoo talk etc...will be starting first on this.

MobiSite - A mobile held Web Site

The world is full of information exchange. With the advent of web, businesses have got a wider reach. Just log into a website and search for what you want and go to your service provider website and get what you want.
I have a shorter version of it. Iam a service provider say a Doctor. I am ready for a service with in 50 miles of a region. The whole way of reaching me through the website or yellow pages search is not that coool. So what I want to say is all service providers should have some thing like a MobiSite. This is a tiny webservice concept in my mobile phone that is throwing the information related to my service on air. If a client wants a service take a mobile or a PDA and search for what service he/she wants with in that region. Bingo!! you have the list of people who have been throwing their information in that region.

Well this is the coolest technology I think we will see in future. The whole idea seems to be very very sexy.

google + keyhole + EA sports + skype = Virtual Reality

As my heading says Iam talking about mixing so many technologies to make it a complete cyber world. Take the keyhole 3D Map and route technology, Googles location search technology, EA sports animation and skypes voice messaging service and club all of them you have just created a virtual world.

Chatting on yahoo msn etc seem to be too old a way to meet new people and explore the world. We are all now set to experience the new fruits of technology.

Talking to my client over the telephone or even the vedio conference seems to be not upto the standard. Is there any better way to meet my clients. Enter this virtual world iam dreaming about.

Iam an end user, I choose the looks I want, EA sports will render my cool graphic looks. I am logged into this world like I log into yahoo or msn. I have my own house, my own street, my own city, country all these keyhole can manage to render. I can walk on the streets of keyhole rendered real world demographical structures animated to perfection, I can talk(skpe will manage your voice). Iam now represented completely as an animation object in the computer and my world is completely represented and now why wait go and explore the world. Meet some others who logged into our virtual world on your way. Talk to them, making everything closer to reality. Explore the world from your window of a computer.

The coolest entertainment centres have only websites now. They can have their stores in this new virtualworld and if thats the coolest place they can attract people to come there.

Well a lot of literature can be written given this idea of seeing the world from the window of your computer, I endup wishing I will be part of such a world or part of building such a world.

Name, Address, Phone number…..what's next on my address book. Is it maploc??

With the power and popularity of keyhole and region/map searches by google it appears we will soon have a next item in our address books. Lets call it by the name "maploc"(Or what ever u fancy). This maploc is a googlemap search relative locator information thats on your address book either on computer, pocket PC or whatever devise you have. On this locator you just click it, it will show the way to go from your own location. or you feed it to your gprs on your CAR it will show the nearest location on your GPRS screen. Whole set of common API to identify a persons location graphically. Definitely a cool thing to have

Is it a time for someone to start writing The Matrix?

What happens when all the governaments in the world reach a stage where they are unable to cater to the needs of their own people? What if there exists unstability and insecurity everywhere and the population explosion becomes unmanageable. Should the Human race continue its existance in utter lifelessness because of social problems??? If technology has to come to aid in such scenarios the solution has to be The Matrix(my understanding could be different to yours...)

What is The Matrix? Before thinking about The Matrix let us talk about some related topics. Have you ever heard about the power of a subconscious mind? A little back ground ........

Our mind can be logically grouped into two divisions the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is responsible for all of our actions that we do involuntarily..like breathing, closing eyes frequently, walking to your home without thinking on where u are going etc. And the conscious mind is the other thinking mind that we use for everyday living. The conscious mind writes some standard rules or some well practised processes to the sub conscious mind and the subconscious mind controls that routine processes with out questioning. There have been some technological uses of understanding this process. One is the Hypnotism. This is a process effectively used in medicine. The doctor controls ur subconscious mind with his mind(by talking). He convinces your subconscious mind telling you that the surgery he is performing will be painless. And you belive it and you donot feel any pain at all. This way best surgeories are performed with out an anasthesia. Now what is that with this background.....? well The Matrix is similar to this concept.......

The Matrix is nothing but an electronic system where the system takes control of your subconscious mind.

There are quite a lot of advantages with this.
1. Teach individuals good things in life.
2. The Governaments can manage thier people effectively by making them to be good citizens.
3. Make them relieved of all the monetory pleasures inherent in human minds.... what not...countless advantages......

Now i get the feeling its not impossible......................

Nice to have in an email software........

Some kind of drag and drop availability in an emailing software can add value to a better user interface. I have a list of addresses and mailing lists if I can drag an email and drop it on an address that should be taken as a mail forward request. I have'nt done any research if something like this is available but I dont have that in my mozilla thunderbird.

My idea of a good collaboration software

With more and more people and companies working together closely from across the boundaries, There is a need for a good collaboration software in the world today then ever before.

3 profiles of a person have to reflect in a blog. One is a work profile. All the blogs in this work profile are related to his project. Two is the Organization profile.The blogs here are related to various things of the persons organization ie technology reviews, ideas on company processes and systems etc....the third is the personal profile which include blogs on personal affairs which can be shared with colleagues for a better friendly relation. This should be enough to give a complete understanding of a person in an organization.
2. Task Tracking
Tasks are countable units of work that are basic elements of workflow in an organization. Tasks are created tracked and stored for knowledge as part of any project.

We have all this accessible in market but if they come from one roof that would be very great to see. Probably Over a long run all are going to be from the opensource. But if a commercial Company with Database at the backend comes up with all these it would be wonderful to see. There are some good suites in the market like Oracle Collaboration suite etc but they need renovation and lot of additions.

Shall update more if I can think of any more requirements for my dream collaboration suite
