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.
We recently learned here at Intercept, that the world’s oldest living creature was an Ocean Quahog, named Ming. It was found near Iceland and was determined to be 507 years old.
It was born just after Columbus first crossed the Atlantic and lived to have seen many great changes in its life.
From 1751 to 1994 the oceans are believed to have gotten 30% more acidic and over the past 25 years 12% more acidic. So how is this related to Intercept Technology™ you ask?
