Comments on: My idea made the Google 10^100 shortlist! http://sethop.com/2009/10/01/my-idea-made-the-google-10-100-shortlist/ Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:32:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Grateful Al http://sethop.com/2009/10/01/my-idea-made-the-google-10-100-shortlist/#comment-104 Grateful Al Sat, 09 Jan 2010 19:56:04 +0000 http://sethop.com/?p=297#comment-104 Seth: I start here even though I am way behind the times. Your Lazarus Plug-In deserves any and every award that can be granted for such Creative Genius. (For the time and frustration it has saved me alone, I would submit you are much more deserving a Nobel Peace Prize than Barry!) My immediate response to any such app was the potential abuse. Surely, Google is well aware of the potential havoc one can wreck on business competitors with the safeguards that are in place. But, I can't begin to imagine what happens when every slight, real or imagined, with a tool like this becomes the bludgeon to go Mid-evil on all those we might wish to enact revenge! I know, I need to get out more and not be so negative, but like every tool, it is amoral. The users become abusive. You are still truly a visionary Seth. Seth:

With a HD video of your "crime" no less. And all you thought you were doing was sending a quick text while driving... not really a big deal, but everyone freaks out about it - like a lot of stuff that's not really a problem except for the guy doing it. Sorry Seth - the governments of these United States aren't responsible enough for this particular innovation.

Two of the other big ideas are "Create real-time natural crisis tracking system" and "Promote health monitoring and data analysis" - your "epidemic" use-case would seem to sit in the middle of all 3!

It might be good o spread the word in an instant b/c most people have google on their smartphones and if there is a news of unusuall occurance then a lot of people can benefit, stay safe or whatever the better outcome is for being informed in time. In an event of things like Katrina etc people may overwhelm the phone lines but these apps can prevent a mad rush on phone networks. Its has public health, public safety and emergency preparedness potential if developed right and light.

Those who have had difficulties with their insurance companies could post, and all could see the realities of real life situations. Perhaps we can hold our politician's accountable?!
