Back in 2008 the popular Post-it notes had resurfaced in the news touting a new “techy” feel. Pranav Mistry of MIT Media Lab, developer of QUiCKiES: the intelligent sticky notes” had given post-its a digital make-over.
I remembered being excited about this development and then had somehow forgotten about it, amidst the run of other new and innovative tech projects. I tried searching on the internet for further developments but had not found any. I was thinking how wonderful it would be if the concept technology could be integrated into android phones. I’m not talking about evernote or other mobile “note, reminder” apps. I just want a physical note that I can write on and tack to any surface that will sync and “talk to” my other mobile (digital) devices.
I’m guessing that the cost of RFID’s at the time were a bit wallet intense and perhaps the project was put on hold. I did send an email to Pranav asking him about it. I hope he replies.
