On tomatos in a bag…

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

Most wouldn’t parallel this product to the way technologies are delivered to consumers, but for the average consumer, it’s an almost ideal equivalent to what they want in technologies – and that includes technologies that can provide sustainble returns to the environment through use.  http://www.3rliving.com/product_p/gbtom.htm. This tomato in a bag represents the ‘wireless, just plug and play’ technology expected now, and in the future.  No wires, no cables to figure out where to plug in to what, no hard drive crashes or blue screens of death — just a tomato plant, conveniently packaged, so you can not only buy them in a ‘bag’, but also grown them indoors.  The tomato does the rest.  And built in – a huge convenience factor.  Now if only Whole Foods would start carrying these…and maybe the technology world will take a hard look at what makes this such a great little product and factor those elements in when creating the green technologies of tomorrow for consumer use.  And boy do we need more consumers to go green.
