Reading fast is great, but ever since getting a Kindle I seem to be reading much slower. And then they introduced the "time to finish chapter/book" and that just creates anxiety.
Funny how we first think about games and circuses, but really I think what we're responding to is that these quadrocopters are almost childlike. Building a machine that inspires you to remember how you, yourself, played as a child is incredible. I guess all I'm saying is that I see these things and they are lifelike in that their demonstrable skills, I know, can/will lead to so many other advanced actions. . . Just like a kid learning to hit a tee-ball.
I like this a lot. . . passive notification. It would also be cool to post messages to the group. . . for instance if everyone is going to a bar to watch a game, but the bar turns out not to be showing it. You could message the group.
