As things ramp up more and more with The Extraordinaries, I find myself on more and more flights -- attending business meetings, team meetings, conferences, and the like.
What's even more amazing are the opportunities that exist in these situations, because as technology develops, we can now get high-speed Internet access at 35,000 feet. I'm actually blogging right now from the 14th row on Flight 77 (Crazy!).
The flight from Washington, D.C. (IAD) to San Francisco (SFO) takes about five hours, and if you're lucky enough to get a seat on Virgin America, you're rewarded with an extensive array of entertainment tools through a system called Red. It's the perfect time to login and knock out some tasks using The Extraordinaries system.
What if, we could work with Virgin America (and Jet Blue, and others with these touch screen entertainment systems) to facilitate a section in these devices that allowed crowdsourcing volunteerism? Or allow Extraordinary users to connect their smartphones to the screens and rock and roll?
Here's the big one -- what if the entire plane load of people could WORK TOGETHER on a task!?!? How amazing and unifying of an experience would it be to have 150 random people -- brought together by the randomness of traveling to the same destination at the same time -- do social good in unison? This is fascinating to me.
Hey Richard Branson! Give us a call -- let's talk about this.
