What a great event, I only feel bad that I couldn’t have been around for more of it. As has been seen many times already, John did another amazing job of giving this conference a unique feel, where content comes before all else (as well as looking after the speakers very well). So here’s a big thanks to John, and also a hello to everyone I met, there’s now way too many people in this community to list individuals. I would like to say an extra thanks to Tink for being the guinea pig for my presentation!
So at the end of this post you can find my slides, and I’ve included the notes I used to build the presentation at the end of the PDF. There’s also the example files for where the word “DEMO” appears in a slide. The Quartz composer file needs an IBVA device and the relevant Quartz plug-in to work of course.
I received some great feedback, so thanks to everyone that came along, the room was full and I appreciate that. Anja Merret has an excellent commentary (thanks Anja), and Pedro posted some interesting related material in the comments on this post.
Here’s a rough overview of what was covered:
- Media management/subscription based models
- Matured DRM (DRM that works)
- Convergence of devices / desktops
- Resulting paradigm shift (Google “Android project” mentality)
- Surveillance, the future of tracking (Amazon)
- Privacy when always online (public/private “personas”)
- Proliferation of sensors in devices (enabling “magic”)
- Augmented reality (advertisting)
- Cloud Computing (Information/Media Piping/Mashups for the many)
- Ubiquitous computing (social/physical impact)
