Advice from Dr. Share More: How I learned to Stop worrying and Start loving the Information Overload!

Posted on January 12, 2012 by N Sai

While cautiously brooding over the impact of frictionless sharing in our lives, i felt it apt to borrow a leaf from the title of one of the greatest satirical movies of our times about a nuclear scare triggered by the actions of a crazy general. The nuclear apocalypse foreseen due to the policy of MAD (mutually assured destruction) bolstered by the buildup of missiles by proponents during the cold war formed the basis for that satire by Stanley Kubrick. The parallels couldn’t be more glaring if one were to comprehend the “MAD” scenario of universal information explosion that warring software … Read the rest

We need an Apps r’ us

Posted on December 9, 2011 by N Sai

Want to know what else is overloading our brains and eyeballs these days ? It’s those dime a dozen apps that keep raining down and drenching our smartphones, tablets, desktops and the web. We hear that there may be a million mobile apps around across all platforms, half of which are in iPhone and iPad alone.

This overcrowding has the noxious effect of numbing prospective users from digging out the right solution to their problems and ignoring all the new and exciting apps that are crying out to be spotted. A crude search in app marketplaces would leave you dazed … Read the rest

Whats a Zettabyte ?

Posted on November 18, 2011 by N Sai

The Information complex competes with Astronomy in how much bigger its going to get and how far we are going to go. After Petabytes and Exabytes, we have been given the Zettabytes. Supposedly, you will hear a lot about this extraordinary quantum of data measurement by 2015 as per an infographic courtesy of Cisco on internet traffic though we have likely crossed this figure in terms of data created and stored worldwide.

The biggest contributor to all this data is video accounting for 50% of all internet by 2012 and the plethora of internet enabled devices such as smartphone, tablets, … Read the rest

Amazing Rant on the Future by ex Apple UI designer

Posted on November 11, 2011 by N Sai

In our last post on “Why cloud the future of Dropbox and Evernote?”, our simple message was to dump on certain media bombast projecting the future as a mere extension of current trends. We chose to share a video on Microsoft Vision 2019 that impressed in “Minority Report” style as an evolutionary leap into the future, good enough to shame the extrapolating bots.

Alas, things have prompted a relook on our choice since then. Not the message but just the particular example.

We happened to stumble upon an absolutely BRILLIANT, enlightening curve ball of a post by an ex-Apple UI wiz Bret Victor. … Read the rest

Posted on November 8, 2011 by N Sai

Here at Zukmo HQ, we are happily jumping through hoops each day trying to solve the problem of information overload which will be an exponential bother in the future. However, the thing bothering us today is the information overload about that supposed future.

Recently we have been noticing online media outlets of certain stripes going viral with their semi promotional trend castings. Overwhelming our embedded tubes are glorified mirages of their slanted visions and thunderous sound bites from their decaying wisdom teeth. So, we decided to pull the wool over the crystal ball and tell it like it might be … Read the rest
