ok

so this presentation is using a convention I am now starting to call Montréal Style

slides in english and presentation en français

local language context and easier international distribution

With quelques francophone twists throw in for good measure, parce que ça me plait

one thing about the title

I think it sucks

(un peu)

you know, we kind of get what this evening should be about

Intelligent digital systems are now reaching all our living environments... Into homes, businesses, schools, hospitals, theatres, city squares and public parks. The power of the user is increasing too. The result: consumers and providers are redefining what it means to be connected.

networked humans

This is really a thought piece on Networked Augmented Society (humans & places & data)

It's all about context

So here's my personal vision of where *WE* are heading

Le futur n'est pas ce qui vient vers nous, mais ce vers quoi nous allons Jean-Marie Guyau

Near term Science-Fiction

Obligatory Tim Oreilly quoting William Gibson Quote : « The future is already here it is just unevenly distributed » http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/William_Gibson

Concepts of old (mostly by others for you)

These are on their way out!

Virtual Reality Personalisation (mass customization) Official representation of the world (physical and conceptual) Broadcast, mass publishing, push Nation/States as Providers

Global Internetworking has enabled a major shift from the group to the individual or smaller group I like to call them tribes

New concepts for networked humans

Augmented Reality Mashups and semantic web (give me data or give me death) Neogeography, Wikipedia for Geo Participative media, I Am Media Hacking education and democracy

Let's quickly look at Philosophical underpinnings (California hippies/libertarians) Technological means (ISO, IEEE, W3C) Economies of scale (the power of N)

There's a struggle between

centralisation and decentralisation

+ philosophy "Knowledge is power" and Relativism + social/cultural Transnationalism and cultural mashups + technology/media (blending) Always-on, high bandwith/resilience, partial attention, engineered serendipity, filtering + economy long tail, globalisation + democracy can proportonial representation still work? + law (the one with the highest need of renewal)

Some Network Axioms to think about

I'm a decentralist (so you know where I stand)

Atomization of content (information needs to "travel" the network) The value of sources (code, data), systems designed to adapt, collective intelligence Emotional technology New business models not scarcity but infinite supply attention and trust are the new metrics markets are conversations, democracy should be about conversations too (it can't right now)

One network fits all? Probably not.

Interop!
