Intention

Write about the big ideas behind your project? What are the goals? Why did you make it? What are your motivations?

In the face of news avalanches and our own curiosity, one could spend hours reading useless information and regreting the wasted time. The Tech&Stock News ambient display alerts about select news items by subject and popularity on one hand and about trends in Technology Stock indices on the other hand. 

Tech&Stock News assumes that any worthwhile Tech news will be published in the New York Times, Technology section. It monitors major Tech stock indices on the S&P500. Significant index changes are likely to be caused by important news. And so, if Tech&Stock News is brightly lit on both the news and stock displays, there is important news in the Technology sector. If the display is dark, one need not bother with news sites - there is nothing about Technology worth reading at the moment.
