Awesome Disruptive Tech

annihilatus extinctus; Definition: technology which ends old ways of doing things. Particularly the ability to eliminate hefting large books around.

All joking aside iBird is a fantastic example of mobile technology altering the fabric of our world. In this case you can clearly see the demise of the printed book, particularly old fashion field guides to nature and to birds.

Im very impressed by this developers attention to details and love the iOS 9 spotlight search.

After using iBird, its easy to imagine that someday, not too far in the future, children will laugh when you explain there was a time pages didnt sing (a birds song), pictures didnt have layers of information you could turn on or off, and GPS wasnt used to tailor the contents to your location.

The iBird app does all these things now and I cant say enough about how it opens the world of the bird to anyone with a mild curiosity about what makes them so magical.
