I love new technology and what we can do with it. I often feel very disappointed with the quality of the information that comes with my new toys however. The material is often poorly produced and lacking in user friendly qualities. I do not think I should have to ring the manufacturer, have to monoeuvre past their entry obstacles before I finally get a person - and discover they don't know what to do either!
So, along with new technology I would like to ask for designers who are capable of communicating the wonders of their technology! Why produce machines and then not be able to communicate all the incredible things we might be able to do with them?
Fascinating use of technology: "A blue mouse with Tasmanian Tiger cartilage genes"
Scientists extracted cartilage DNA from the skin and remains of four thylacines which had been preserved in ethanol. The scientists successfully implanted the DNA into the mouse embryo. A blue bacteria gene was also inserted with the DNA so that the Thylacine DNA could be seen in the developing mouse. It may even have Thylacine striped markings on its back! A picture of the little mouse with its blue bones was published in the SMH on the 21st May 2008.
