We live in an information age
that is constantly changing and evolving.
Mobile devices put a world of information
in the palms of your hands,
including Maori knowledge, history and tradition.
Hinerangi Goodman caught up with Shannan Tana of Touchmedia.
A journey into the future using modern technology
like mobile devices and talking posts,
taking us on a journey in this ever-changing world.
Shannan Tana's team
have been developing this technology for two years.
He says it's cutting edge.
A project that has come into its time
where it will take on a life of its own,
teaching those interested in learning about local history
and oral traditions.
The current plan includes
establishing posts like these in every place
so tourists can take what they learn back home with them.
It's a new initiative -
who knows how it will develop?
Hinerangi Goodman, Te Karere.
