ORANGE HELPS A&E GET A BETTER PICTURE OF INJURIES
Orange has expanded its customer base into the emergency services with the
launch of a six-month trial using mobile phones with built in digital
cameras.

The mobile company has donated 14 handsets equipped with picture messaging
to the Fife fire and rescue service and the accident and emergency unit at
Dunfermline's Queen Margaret Hospital. The aim is for officers attending
accident scenes to take photographs of victims' injuries and to show if or
how they are trapped, then to send the images over the phone network to A&E
staff. The trial is designed to demonstrate that by using this visual aid,
doctors can better assess the type and extent of a victim's injuries. With
photo messaging staff can evaluate whether it is necessary to send medical
teams to the accident scene or, if not, to mobilise the appropriate staff
and equipment to be ready for the casualty on arrival at the hospital.
Orange hope to show that mobile data applications have a valuable role to
play in both the public and commercial sectors where speed and reliability
of service is critical.

Trendsetting is dead
With the growth of collaboration online, the death of the trendsetting profession may be near. With search engines tracking popular searches and weblogs giving everyone a voice, it's not too hard to figure out what's in and what's out.


All of this may be the demise of cool.

A big ingredient to something being cool is its under the radar factor. Once everyone knows about it, it's not cool anymore and the length of time between cool and uncool is fast decreasing. Very soon we will reach the point where nothing (and everything) will be cool (or not) at the same time.
