cloud me by henry hsiao from taiwan
designer's own words:
A CRT TV, a fine wooden chair or a leather suitcase can last for decades, while the newest phone/laptop can only last for few months; the line between a product and a consuming good is getting blurrier. Screens addiction and powerful portable device does not make us closer with our family or loved ones, but only make it farther. Furthermore, the devices we have nowadays overlapped each other in functionality and hardware specifications, which is confusing the users and not so environmental friendly.
The objective of this project is not to purpose a better services to access virtual world, but to merge (integrate) the beauty in IT into our daily lives in a seamless way in order to make the it a better and easier place to live.“Cloud-Me” is a combination of cloud-computing, multiple (private/public) screens, and low cost e-paper. It allows people to move from screen to screen, places to places according to their routes. and they don't need to worry about losing the device since everything is saved on the cloud. Then, people will stop buying new machines but paying for the services, and all become earth savers.
