Endangered species and technology - Tord Boontje’s HP mini-note
Posted by: SerSiTiv in SerSiTivEver so often we forget about the real world around us as we immerse ourselves in a digital world. Even with modernization, it has lead to some animal species to become endangered due to environmental changes, human activities and development. Even with efforts to save these animals, this is continually becoming a challenging task as we humans continue to urbanize the environment.
One such endangered species is the Orang Utan. Ah Meng a female Orang Utan has been the Icon of the Singapore Zoo till 2008 and is remembered by many for her friendliness. However her species the Sumatran Orangutan is facing extinction due to illegal logging and poaching and only 7500 species remain in existence.
Tord Boontje a renowned industrial engineer, well known for his whimsical weaves of floral and endangered animals has tied up with HP to even immortalize these fast vanishing creatures on the new HP mini-note. What’s more in view of the environment the mini-note spots a mercury-free LED backlit display and comes in a 100% recyclable packaging.
