Good Idea! Now find a better one.

This Yoga mat idea with a built in flexible display demonstrates the challenge of predicting the future of technology.

We look through the lens of how we currently use today’s technology to come up with fantastic potential applications 5 years in the future.

This Yoga mat plays mp3’s. Why would you use this mat instead of an mp3 player? It also plays streaming video right on the mat. Why is that better than a TV? You can video conference with friends or a Yoga instructor…The camera must be somewhere else.

Mp3’s and streaming video and Yoga are popular…So we put them together and get a poor mp3 player, strange video player and obscenely expensive Yoga mat.

All that complexity seems to be the exact opposite of what Yoga is about…
