Reality Postcards EquivalenZ by Gadget
June 1st, 2006 1:54 AM
Created a postcard that epitomizes our tech culture and mailed it to a long lost friend in Wisconsin.
The front of the card is the Google search page. The search bar has been replaced with a semi-transparent window such that you can make it appear filled in placing it over any random printed text. The back has the appearance of a normal postcard, complete with address (obfuscated to protect the innocent), postage, a description of the content, and a brief message (and an odd transparent window, but you can ignore that).
The basic premise it that any given person can search for just about anything... no I take that back... any given person can google any given subject. Given that google is a commonly recognized verb around these (tech) parts, I think it's clear to say that it's part of our culture.
