Technology

Technology.

I do love new gadgets – once I have been shown how to use them of course. I thought I might do a bit of a waffle about Photoshop or some other related item but couldn’t get into the mood.
Today I heard about another use for technology. Games. Now I know you are going to say computer games have been around forever but this is a different game but it makes the use of well now it is not so new technology but still technology.
It is the mobile mobile game and this is how it all began and how it works.
A group of five men who do a lot of travel and work in the Yarra Valley realized that they were often ‘bumping’ into the Valley mobile library in their travels. So they devised a game. The one with the lowest points at Christmas time buys the slab of beer.
If they can get a photo using their mobile phones of themselves in front of the Valley mobile library it is worth 1 point. If they can get a photo of themselves inside the mobile library it is worth 4 points.
Boys with Toys will never be bored.
