Πριν λίγες μέρες το γνωστό Gizmodo ξεκίνησε έναν photo-διαγωνισμό. Καλούσε τους επισκέπτες του να στείλουν ένα μοντάζ καταστρέφοντας τους Ολυμπιακούς βάζοντας “τεχνολογία” σε άσχετα σημεία. Το κάλεσμα έλεγε “I want you to ruin the Olympic Games by inserting technology and gadgets where they really don’t belong. I’ll leave “ruining” open to your interpretation, but the more creative the better.” Πριν λίγη ώρα ο διαγωνισμός έκλεισε έχοντας μαζέψει 135 συμμετοχές, κάποιες απο αυτές πολύ καλές Πρώτη ...
