Four Ways to Keep the Museum Experience Relevant
He and his Portland Art Museum team are excited about the future of the museum as a social platform. Ideas include measuring repeat visits to the museum, quality of conversations, and influence (how do you measure the impact of inspiring the next Frank Gehry?). Ziba Design helped create the massive exhibition, China Design Now which recently closed in Portland, Oregon. Steve McCallion files his last report on how the experience transformed the city and what museums can learn from it. After walking though the China Design Now exhibition, the youngest member of the Portland

Sony's PlayStation Move Ad Snarks Microsoft's Project Natal, Ignores Nintendo Wii for Some Reason
All three current-gen videogame console makers have staked their futures on motion sensing. It doesn't need a controller; it can recognize limbs, faces, and objects (like, say, a skateboard or tennis racquet) and insert them into games in real time; and it can sense depth, hand motions, and multiple people at one time; and it's basically an idea out of Star Trek. Nintendo famously did it first with the Wii, a ballsy, forward-looking move that many believed would lead to the downfall of the venerable company--but instead it won them this generation, racking up incredible sales and proving the naysayers totally and embarrassingly wrong.

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:

Explainers to Watch in 2009
We will all be confronted with new products, services, ideas and concepts that will confuse the majority of us.?? The biggest opportunity we see is for people who are good at explaining - at taking an idea and packaging it so a maximum number of people can understand and act on it.?? Tags: network future friends explainer If there is one prediction I have for 2009, it will be that our world will become more complex.?? And this adds to what confused us in 2008 and years before.

Information Age dawn still breaking
It’s fun to fact-check a futurist when plenty of future has already gone by. The third wave brings with it a genuinely new way of life based on diversified, renewable energy sources; on methods of production that make most factory assembly lines obsolete, on new, non-nuclear familes, on a novel institution that might be called the “electronic cottage”; and on radically changed schools and corporations of the future.

What is the unique idea in Connectivism?
Gary then asked a critical question: what is the unique idea in connectivism? First, a new idea is often an old idea in today's context . For example, what is the new idea in constructivism? The ideas have existed in various forms over 2000 years ago. Late last week, I threw out a question to Gary Stager on Twitter: "when a constructivist constructs knowledge, where does it reside physically/biologically?". Gary replied with something along the lines of "we don't know and I don't care.

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.

The Volcano of Video 3.0
Tags: Past problems News Ideas Futur Video 1.0 is TV, low-def camcorders, VCRs, analog and HDTV as it now stands: in the form of “HD” that’s much prettier than SD but is still packed with artifacts because it flows through pipes (both wired and wireless) that limit how good it can look, and that flow only in one way: from producer to consumer. It’s everything we’ve seen up until now.

9 experiences for 2009
good idea becomes a great idea if its time has come.
So as we start off in a gloomy looking 2009, I’ll put on my hunch-hat and share my nine ideas of experiences who’s time has come:
Tags: Experience Strategy 2009 user experience predictions experiences Future Timing is everything. Take Flickr for example, a photo sharing service that successfully emerged in 2004 not just because of good design, technology, and leadership, but because of the coincidental mass adoption of camera phones and affordable high-quality digital cameras.

25 Stretch Goals for Management
Mid-way through the event, Eric Schmidt, Google's CEO, stopped by and added his thoughts to the already bubbling cauldron of ideas:
Fully embed the ideas of community and citizenship in management systems . In the future, they must facilitate innovation and change. Share the work of setting direction. In May 2008, a group of renowned scholars and business leaders gathered in Half Moon Bay, California, with a simple goal: to lay out an agenda for reinventing management in the 21st century. The two-day event, organized by the Management Lab with support from McKinsey & Company, brought together veteran management experts such as CK Prahalad , Henry Mintzberg , and Peter Senge ; distinguished social commentators including Kevin Kelly , James Surowiecki and Shoshana Zuboff ; and a number of progressive CEOs, including Terri Kelly from WL Gore , Vineet Nayar from HCL Technologies
