Super Card, good. Lotus Notes, bad.
A technology is a good technology if it accommodate your lifestyle instead of forcing you to do the machine way.For instance, the SuperCard (www.supercard.cn, allows instant save game instance on a GameBoy Advance) I brought is a good technology because it fits my lifestyle. I don’t have a lot of time to play video game, and when I play I can only do it in some fragmented time slot. SuperCard allows me to save any time I want during the game. This allows me to have fun while taking away the frustration of finding the save spot to save within the game.
The 512Mb Memory Stick Pro that I brought 2 weeks ago was also a good technology because it allows me to watch movie while I am on commute to work. Before getting the 512M stick, my 128Mb memory stick can only hold 30 minutes of video to watch on my Sony Clie, but now it holds a full length movie plus several short clips. This makes my long commute time seems much short than it is.
On the other hand, Lotus Notes v.5 is a BAD technology because it doesn’t allows me to set the client to give me warning when I forgot to put subject in an email. I cannot believe is so called enterprise class application doesn’t have this feature. And it caused me some heat in front of my client because I forgot to write subject on two of the email I sent. I know I am to blame, but come on; even the cheesy Outlook Express has this warning feature for missing subject.

Doesn't it take awhile to transfer the video to the memory stick? I always thought it would be cool to have a DVD burner thinking I could just record the television shows on my computer and then burn them to a dvd. But, it takes an hour to record an hour. Is it faster with the memory stick? I have a pda but didn't realize I could watch a full length movie on it.
