StoryCorps founder Dave Isay on Tuesday unveiled a wish to use smartphone applications to archive the spoken wisdom of humanity. The prize came with an unfettered wish and a million dollars, all of which Isay said has already been spent building a StoryCorps application for smartphones along with a website and back-end system to handle the floodgates it will likely open. Free StoryCorps applications tailored for mobile devices powered by Apple or Android software became available on Tuesday. "I would love to see people go into nursing homes, hospitals, even prisons and use this app to give voice to people who feel their lives don't matter," Isay said before going on stage to announce his wish at TED.
