During a recent conversation between my sons on the merits of different camera phones, various technical pros and cons were discussed. Much of the teenagers discussion centered on the value of a three versus a five megapixel camera. At which point my eight year old daughter asked what a ‘mega pixie’ was. Now this perfectly reasonable question has got me thinking. What if technology products are, in fact, powered by little magical beings like pixies?
I suppose that having five pixies inside a camera will allow more detailed pictures to be created than if just three are on duty. Though they must all be pretty good at painting pictures to warrant the title ‘mega’!
And what of other devices? What fantastical creatures might lie within, waiting for us to turn on the power button? If you reckon you know how your favourite gadgets really work let us know.
