Clues To What Goes On Inside
Start the day at 6am and cruise the city with motorbike driver looking trying to understand how the city wakes up. Yes, it is little late - early risers are mostly likely in the park Tai Chi-ing at 4am, but early enough to catch the rush hour. The driver is a strong silent type - over course of 5 hours he didn't speak one word, not that that was a problem with lots of non-verbal communication, smiles, a gentle squeeze on the shoulder and he would pull in to let me dismount. His charge? 20,000 Vietnamese Dong (1 Euro) per hour, plus breakfast and all the coffee he can drink.
Take a look over Ho Chi Minh City in particularly from one of the many raised bridges and you'll see row after row of aerials jutting up from the roof tops. Could aerials such as these be some form of interface between apartments and the surrounding environment? What level of effort would be required to reduce the total number of aerials and share from one source? What (social) tools required to to enable this assuming it is desireable. How will this change if its all arriving through an IP pipe?
