Benedetta had mentioned a couple of cool projects in the last two Towers of Power classes that I wanted to check out. So I took this opportunity to research these projects along with a few others. It’s apparent that there are a vast number of things that we can make with open GSM. Though their purpose are mostly different, I noticed some recurring themes based on how the technology is used. Here are a few of them. <\/p>\n

\nThese projects are pretty fun. I think texting is a very human way of communicating. Unlike pressing a button, texting to get a lifeless piece of object to act seems more entertaining and magical.<\/p>\n
\nThe user interact with a less tangible counterpart through their phones. These projects are more game-like.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s really cool that the GSM Module can be used to create new gestures to communicate. <\/p>\n
\nThese applications target issues of not having signal in disaster scenes or remote locations. <\/p>\n
\nThese projects are more on the offense, using the technology to attack itself or those using it, all the while sending a strong statement? <\/p>\n
\nThis is also on the offense, but with more covert attacks. <\/p>\n
\nThese projects are longer term and requires continued documentation or a fully built out platform to display or visualize the information.<\/p>\n
