Just a quick reminder to say I’ll be presenting my talk “Touching the Future” at LFPUG tomorrow night. All the details can be found over at the site.
Subjects discussed include:
- 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)
You can find the slides and source here.
Elmer will also be presenting, on the subject of “Collaboration in Education”. This looks to be a really interesting view on how technology can be used to provide better face-to-face
communication between individuals, such as pupils in schools, amongst other things. Look forward to seeing you at Cosmo bar.
