Reality Postcards EquivalenZ by Gadget

June 1st, 2006 1:54 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: If all you knew about San Francisco was from our postcards, you'd think we did nothing but ride between china town and the golden gate bridge on shiny cable cars.

Capture the essence our Tech culture or the dotcom boom/bust and turn it into a postcard. On the front or back, include information about where the photo was taken. Mail it to someone who lives outside of the bay area.

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.
