MORE/REAL Stylus Cap on Kickstarter

cameronmoll:

Replace the cap on your favorite pen, turn it into a touchscreen stylus. Continue to use the pen. Best of both worlds. $15,000 and climbing.

(At some point, all of us are going to run out of discretionary funds for supporting Kickstarter projects, I would imagine. But clearly, we’re not there yet.)

Raises an interesting economic question: If people are contributing a rising percentage of their disposable income to Kickstarter projects, and similar systems, what are they spending less on? Less movies rented from Blockbuster? Less gear bought from Amazon? One less coffe from Starbucks?

I’d like to hear some suggestions.
