Day Zwei - ETech08 - some interesting stuff

This morning started off with cellphone gaming fun. The crowd of participants used their cell phones to play a game projected on the screen. The company Megaphone is creating all kinds of cell phone games -their goal is to make digital signage interactive.

Saul Griffith - the Howtoons guy I mentioned yesterday talked about Energy Literacy. He's an Energy Guy - and he believes we should all understand the amount of Watts each of our lives takes every year - and how that relates to the bigger global demands for energy. He showed a really interesting audit of his wattage usage, and what he needs to do in his life to minimize the amount of energy he is using. He also suggested it would be good for us to understand the amount of energy required to make all of the products we use -- kind of like nutritional labels.
Is anyone out there doing carbon footprint programming in their library?
