The Context Aware Cell Phone Project
Is there a technological fix for the social problems created by cell phone use? Those at MIT working on the The Context Aware Cell Phone Project think there is. Imagine a cell phone that knows where you are and behaves accordingly. If you're in a theater (or EDTEC 296) it doesn't ring. If you're driving, it works hands-free. Like many MIT Media Lab projects, this one is a bit too far ahead of its time to be immediately useful, but it points in an interesting direction.
