The Pad – Trends, drivers and a scenario from 1998
In 1998, Stephen Downes wrote a document looking into the future of technology and education. This is the first set piece that I’ve put together for the education futures course. While it is certainly interesting reading, I’m hoping it will serve as a simple introduction to thinking about the future. I’m still playing with the formats for this kind of post, but as my course starts next week, i thought i would get this started.
It’s a neat document from Stephen Downes from a dozen years ago written to explain the reason for his work.

Review: Robert Pozen's Road Map for Financial Reform
While there are many books on the financial crisis, too many of them say too much about what went wrong and not enough about how to fix the problem. Bob Pozen's book Too Big to Save? (Wiley, 2009) breaks the mold. Few people are better positioned than Pozen, whom I've known for years, to tell us what needs to be done to avoid a similar financial crisis in the future. It not only analyzes the causes of the crisis with uncommon clarity, but also supplies a compelling road map for reform.
He is the current chairman of the mutual fund group MFS Investment Management, a former

The future of the book
I just came from a discussion of the future of the book at Harvard, although it was actually more like the propedeutic for that discussion. First spoke Ann Blair , a history professor at Harvard, who has a book on the history of information overload (particularly in the early modern period) coming out in the fall of 2010. She talked about how printed books were first received: Positively, the printing press was appreciated Quite fascinating though.
You had to count on selling 300 copies before you’d break even, whereas hand-copied manuscripts were done on

The Web of Identities: Making Machine-Accessible People Data
In an email, Chris Bizer hinted that a payment model to charge for particular content may come in future.
Address book exchange format Portable Contacts .
In the future, ID providers will loosen their connection to social applications and start taking over management of users' social attributes. In a previous article, we discussed the Web of data , which is about inter-linking open data sets and, thus, turning them into machine-accessible structured data. In this post, we'll draw a picture of how the emerging social Web could serve as a Web of identities,

Futures of the Internet
Earlier this year the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and Elon University conducted research toward The Future of the Internet IV , the latest in their survey series , which began with Future of the Internet I – 2004 . This latest report includes guided input from subjects such as myself (a “thoughtful analyst,” they kindly said) on subjects pertaining to the Net’s future. We were asked to choose between alternative outcomes — “tension pairs” — and to explain our views. Here’s the whole list:

Ten Futures
Drawing on Richard MacManus's 10 Future Web Trends , this is a bit linear, but has the virtue of identifying future trends, not things that are around today. Mobility We will again in the future become a species of nomads, moving in tribes and herds through society, grazing on energy and information inputs as they become available. Consumer goods - ubiquitous today - will become expensive and 1. The Pragmatic Web Forget about the Semantic Web.

Unsettling books
Studying stuff is a lot of what I do, whether I’m looking out the window of an airplaine , asking a question at a meeting, browsing through the Web and correspondence, or digging through books and journals in libraries.
And there, much of what I’ve been studying lately is in Google scans of books.
appreciate that Google has done Google I’m a born researcher. Most of my library work, however, isn’t in library buildings.

Reinventing the Book in the Age of the Web
But simply putting books onto electronic devices is only the beginning. Why should books be any different? (Aside: our work at O'Reilly as authors and publishers, we've long been interested in exploring how the online medium changes the presentation, narrative and structure of the book, not just its price or format.
A sample from my latest experiment, The Twitter There's a lot of excitement about ebooks these days, and rightly so. While Amazon doesn't release sales figures for the Kindle, there's no question that it represents a turning point in the public perception

Will books survive? A scorecard…
So what about books? After we have networked digital books, we’ll still have and produce physical books. But will physical books be as ubiquitous and culturally important as radio? In my interview with Cory Doctorow , I wondered, in the midst of an overly-elaborate three-part question, whether ebooks will provide enough of what we value about physical books (pbooks) that pbooks will lose the historic significance Cory had pointed to.
New media generally don’t replace old media, as Marshall McLuhan pointed out. After TV we still have radio.
