That got me to thinking about the new words being thrown around to describe what is now available through the internet that was never possible in real life. So I made a list that can be co-opted by you all out there, especially the ones writing a Business Plan or Power Point to sell their latest Internet Idea. So lets retire “Stickiness” and bring in fresh blood. Twitter has a suggestion for the Twitter newbie that to make you more “real” , you should add a “real picture” of yourself to your profile.

We’re extraordinarily proficient at rolling out applications that live out their brief lives in our computers, but we are so bad at using those applications as drivers for the next generation of hardware. ecause Timmy O’Toule and Sarah Johnson want to walk home with a cuddly new friend not a laser-etched DVD.

Except on the technical side (smaller, faster,cheaper) we still build hardware the same way we have for years. It has to be that way to some extent because hardware has much higher costs than software but I think the result is that we're not seeing the integration of "revolutionary" hardware concepts.
