My Building Community Project

My Building Community Project

    I came up with a project idea I want to call community-building technologies. These range from real-time apps to telecommunication-technologies. The primary focus is to revive community in neighborhoods, urban development locations, and rural areas and build real-time communication for those who want to use it. The first idea I have is to use  apps to build real-time text and vocal communication with a focus on 'local' and 'global' communication. 'Local' communication is communication within a limited local range and 'global' communication is a system where there are a bunch communication rooms specializing in a certain topic, subject, or event. I call these apps Range Communication apps. The use of these apps can enhance the human experience with a next level method of human interaction. My next idea is using an app that communicates with other drivers using the same app technology. It uses a sensory-direction, like pointing the camera, to maintain signal with other drivers using the same Range Communication app. The next idea is to allow telephones to access Range Communication capabilities much like the apps. This allows an individual to call a phone number or obtain a text message and access a local telephone chat or global telephone chat dedicated to a certain topic, subject, or event. I want to imagine a vocal twitter but using it to talk to a group of people. I'm sure it would seem like chaos at first but I think over time it can be refined and a method of communication can be adopted where a person will be able to speak in a group chat and even select a single person from the group chat to talk to> Once they are done with their individual discussion, they can pop back in to the main chat channel once more. The next idea I have is allow users to encrypt data in 3D world space or geographic longitude and latitude coordinates where a person can find and access data in real-time using an app or by telephone services. An example of this telecommunication services is a person walking in public and a phone picks up a number on instant message that allows a person to call the number and have access to pinned-encrypted-geographic data. Imagine walking through the city and coming across a number someone made that allows you access a vocal or text message that allows a person to get information. This would be handy for learning about some local information someone left behind. Another idea I had is the use of QR Codes. Allowing individuals to use QR Codes to access certain data or information could be handy. Imagine walking in a grave yard and wanting to know about the story of a person and see all their photos, videos, and achievements. The things you could learn from people would be priceless. My final idea is building a physical community center location in most neighborhoods or around areas people can access to learn what activities local inhabitants are doing, what projects people are working on, and upcoming group events. If there is one take away from this a blog, it would be the usefulness of community centers. It can be a place a person can go to when they are bored staying at home, want others to see them working on their own projects, volunteerable for projects, or to join members of their neighborhood doing stuff that will help build community and allow neighbors to get to know each other. Having a community center will also help dissolve crime as community builds closer connections. Overall, these are my ideas for Community-building technologies and allowing people to have greater communication with each other.
