How SmartPhones Are Changing The World: Example #34,987

Yesterday my wife was in south Los Angeles (San Pedro, to be exact) enjoying the Lobster Fest with a friend. (By the way, look at that URL: I would have thought Boston or Maine would have gotten the URL first. URLs may be the new way cities and states define themselves.)

She saw deco scarves for sale, photographed them on her iPhone, and sent the photo to our granddaughters asking if they would be interested.


From my wife:
[The seven-year-old] called back a few minutes later and chose the purple one with star, while [the ten-year-old] chose the blue one with gem stone.  They were thrilled.  :-)
So, this entrepreneur in Los Angeles made two sales to two granddaughters living in Dallas, all in about 90 seconds. 

Anyone who says smart phones are not increasing American productivity continue to look in all the wrong places. This is one entrepreneur whose productivity will increase due to 21st century technology. She can thank Steve. As in Jobs.

The big story: the technology was used by a grandmother who says she has few technical skills to use computers, smart phones. Can you imagine what millennials can do with their tech skills?
