India makes buying a used cow easier than buying a used car India has launched a new app to help farmers access information about livestock and expects it will cut the cost of cattle and make farms more efficient. The app, called e-Gopala, will enable farmers on the ground to register and access information about their livestock using ID-tags linked to the Pashu Aadhaar database …
Does it make a milkshake?
If you scare a cow so bad that it screams, does that make curdled milk?
If a cow gets indigestion & constipation, does that mean it's cottage cheese?
I'll get my coat, it's the one with the pockets full of a-moo-sing puns. =-)P
There is an app for everything although I find most apps useless bits of spyware. To use them you have to assume that there is signal where the people would use it. You have to assume that the people have access to the tech and are savvy enough to understand it. It has to bring enough extra value to make it worth using in the first place.
Every time I grab some fast food there is a banner telling me to download their app. Why? In 1/4 of the time I can tell the PFY I want a #1 without pickles much faster than poking about trying to learn the latest layout of the bloody app. I don't find ordering in advance to work either. The food has either been sitting around getting cold and manky or it isn't ready when I arrive. (I've learned all this via lemmings that love to download apps since I refuse to compromise my phone). I expect that before too long voice ordering will be done via kiosk at the restaurant with a touch screen to help sort out glitches. I'll just walk up, hit a button to start a new order, say "#1, no pickles, Sprite" and it will appear on the screen and when it looks correct, I hit "order", pay and retrieve my food. I always pay with cash to minimize tracking and useless ads.
