Kiosks
I was reading some more about the new Nokia N810 Internet Tablet today and this editoral at Internettablettalk got me thinking about how kiosks, in concert with the various bits of mobile tech we carry might have a place in various arenas.
For example, instead of printing the weekly announcement, have a laptop setup with the announcement on it, and then a person at the laptop who would facilitate the transfer (SMS, Bluetooth, QR Code) to the digital device. Besides making a conversation piece (people will end up gathering to watch and then it can be a meeting point), its a way to extend the use of digital tech to something that people would otherwise read once and forget.
Then again, if I were in seminary, and needed a book or two, something like this would come in handy if I ever wanted to get something like this on my Treo :)
I currently am in a small (less than 100 members) church and this is something that I could see us easily doing given some testing of the system and then a brief trial run. Would something like this promote a better understanding of mobile tech in the various groups you are in as well?
