Living In The Future: Again!

OK, so the Royal Mail just released its new interactive stamps which can be read by your iPhone using the Junaio application to launch a video, or web data pertinent to the theme:

According to the BBC*:

Those viewing the stamp, part of the Royal Mail's latest Great British Railways edition, via the Junaio app will be directed to a short film showing Bernard Cribbins reading Auden's famous poem The Night Mail.


OK, maybe Bernard Cribbins is a bit of an anticlimax considering the paradigm shifting nature of the venture, but this has to be A GOOD THING, at least for the short period before advertising and Rupert Murdoch get hold of it and ruin everything.
