Re: [FRIAM] phonebloks teams with motorola

That does seem really nifty. The market is too small for a smart flip-phone with a 3d camera, a weather station, and super bright light, but this would allow someone to make one easily. However, I agree that it might be to before it's time.   Cody Smith I'm surprised that they didn't bring LEGO in as a partner as well! Change this XKCD cartoon chart to reference "smart phones" instead of LEGO people" FWIW, Daniel Dennett recently claimed that 10,000 years ago humans and their domesticated animals comprised less than 1% of the mass of animal (not including invertebrates or ocean dwellers) of the earth but today we, along with our livestock and pets comprise 98%...  I can't even image what the relative mass of automobiles (or just their tires?) or buildings might be (or smartphones or LEGO blocks).
