Much before digital homes become a reality for ‘24/7 connected’ folks, Valishetty Narendra, a farmer in Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh, has digitalized a vital aspect of farming. He has invented an innovative way to water his fields by dialing for it.Â
Irregular power supply at his village required him to trudge to field to restart the water pump. To monitor the pump from comfort of his home, he worked out a device using two mobile phones. One phone, connected to the pump when called by the other mobile phone activated the pump.Â
Just an interest in gadgets and circuits triggered Narendra’s six-month journey in perfecting the innovative device. Kudos to such practical product designers. (Report)

A novel - The Last Messages, entirely based on text messages was released in Finland. It tells the story through text messages exchanged between a fictional executive traveling through Europe and India and his friends and relative back in Finland. (News article) How about a travelogue spiced with pictures taken by mobile camera? Or an account of expedition to Antarctica perhaps?

In the literary space, a possible trendsetting experiment of collaborative novel writing has been launched jointly by Penguin and De Montfort University. (News article) The experiment which will run for six weeks will lead to the novel ‘A Million Penguins’. It is based principles of Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia; anyone can join in to write or edit without getting credit for words, characters, plot-twist or story. A Penguin editor will blog about the experiment, giving running commentary on the progress of the story, suggesting changes and possible directions it could take.
Why not include a mobile component to increase the collaborators’ number and enhance flexibility in terms of connectivity for contributing to the process. Next time local Penguin publishers in various countries can tie up with telcos to provision mobile collaboration along with online efforts.  Or maybe we will soon have an exclusively mobile collaborative novel. How would it be named - Mobile Collaborative Novel- MoCoNo?
