Land of the Blind

Bonnier R&D's Erich Hugo wants web leaders to stop out-innovating the consumer.

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed is king—or so the old adage goes.

But what has this got to do with the world we live in today? Well, it struck me last night while I was doing some dishes, using the latest and greatest dishwashing liquid.  It actually contained an active ingredient extracted from cucumber.  And I was like, what??

The End of the OS

Bonnier R&D's Erich Hugo on the end of the operating system, and why that's a good thing.

I am a consumer (not the walrus) and I need to get my daily fix of PopSci. So of course I need to pop into the website and see the latest headlines...If only it was as simple as that, though, because the wish to consume media means I need to get to a lap- or desktop. I need to boot the device up, which is all ready a two- to three-minute plus exercise; I then add some seconds to find and open the relevant browser application. Then I need to actually type in an address and wait for some loading times.

Fire Upon the Deep Web

R&D's Erich Hugo on the question of your online reputation. 

For my first blog entry I was asked to say a few words about myself, and right now I am stumped. So instead of me preaching about myself, I recommend that you guys do a search on my name and I will try and track you. I will post the results of anybody searching on my name (which I can find) here on the blog. That way you will get an overview of who I am and we get my first blog post done. And it is about the DEEP WEB.
