MIT Makes Post-it Notes Sexy

We all know that Post-it notes are the sexy office supply.  (What do you mean, they aren't?  Pshaw.) No other office supply (not counting Sharpies, of course) can come close to theirPostit3 raw uninhibited utilitarian passion. If you've got it then flaunt it--some guys have even been known to use the power of Post-it colored cars to attract the opposite sex. Uh, well....sort of.Yellowcar

Even though it's hard to imagine adding more potency to the already turbo charged parade of Post-it passion Pranav and Pattie over at MIT have ventured close to the edge of Post-it potential by embedding RIFD and handwriting technology and evolving them into what they, aptly, call "Quickies". See, even MIT knows about the sex appeal of the Post-it!

Okay, enough kidding around--but this use of RFID is actually pretty cool.  Imagine writing a number down on a Post-it and having it instantly load into your phone's contact list. Or how about book marking a passage in a book, and a few weeks later use search for that note on your laptop's Quickie UI? There's a long list of ways this could make sharing data between the physical world and the digital world seamless, but until a manufacturer takes this idea and unleashes it - and when they do I personally promise Amazon.com/OfficeSupplies will sell it - we'll just have to sit back and dream about Quickies.
