Before we delve into the birth of Static Intercept-2, let's pick up on the winners for the 2014 Apple Design Awards announced last week.
Past winners of the awards include Where’s My Water, Guitar Hero, AOL Radio, and a World of Warcraft release.
Each of these won for a different reason. This is due to Apple’s criteria stating that winning designers “combined design and technology in creative, compelling, and powerful ways.”
Although innovative technology has been present since ancient times, our focus for this post is on World War 1 Technology.
The Atlantic Magazine just posted a page of pictures of World War 1 Technology, find it here.
Many of these pictures show old designs that paved the way for the future.
For example, the first picture (in the article link), called an "acoustic locator" -- was a predecessor to sonar.
A barrier to benefits can often be unforeseen. I enjoy camping and have been receiving flyers and opinion polls because of my time spent in Yellowstone Park. While there, I learned about how the insertion of wolves (after a 70-year absence) changed the behavior of the animals and the land. I recently found a video that described the lengths to which the park and its wildlife were affected.
