Google Wave Video

Who would of thought e-mail is older than you and I (unless your over 40). This video is a presentation by some Google techies on the new Google Wave project that is set to redefine e-mail. It would be unfair to call it a new ‘e-mail’ as it is much more impressive. Kind of like the Bell Labs telephone example I gave in a previous post (In the 70′s Bell Labs scientists were told to imagine the phone system was destroyed, now reinvent it and they came up with ideas such as voice mail and voice activation, way ahead of their time). Similarly the guys and gals at Google have set about to redefine what e-mail is given such advances in technology over the last 40 years. Google Wave is their result and it is impressive.

Google Wave takes elements of message forums (ability to respond to particular points in messages), instant messages, traditional emails and social media (blogs, multimedia, collaboration) to allow easier communication between friends or business colleagues. This video gives a useful demonstration of a product we may all be using in a few short years. Its a bit long, the jokes are a bit lame, but the first 30 or so mins is worth watching.
