What's Toasterz?

A geeky definition could be:

"An ubiquitous appliance that performs well a clearly defined task...
easy and intuitive to operate, requiring little maintenance."

Delicious lightly burned bread, mmm... perfect everytime.

Technology should be about users, not the other way around. Today's knowledge tools are slightly more involved than toasters, but should aspire to be as intuitive and easy to use.

The Invisible Man

So, I've been thinking a bit lately on technology's role in learning, or eLearning, if you will. My goal as CTO is to become the invisible man. Tech should serve users, not the other way around.

As is obvious from this website, I'm an opensource advocate and lately have been annoyed with how much 'stuff' old-school software vendors impose on the users of their products. If you really set down and think about the major barriers to innovation, you must consider the so-called 'investment' in 'the way it's always been done' near the top of the list. How many proprietary companies are actively trying to become invisible? Their corporate mission is precisely the opposite.
