antimega commented on the abstract pointillist powerpoint toolkit POINT ONE: Presentations are about IDEAS, not TEXT. POINT TWO: READING from SLIDES is a heinous crime. POINT THREE: PEOPLE cannot COPE without some kind of visual STIMULATION. Presenting the abstract pointillist powerpoint toolkit. 20 slides that can be used for any presentation. Cut, paste, copy, crop the slides to create an abstract of your ideas that you can then talk to and through. WARNING: This is an ADVANCED powerpoint technique, for which you will need to be CONFIDENT in your argumentation. It should not be used by minors or those without the appropriate powerpoint LICENSE. 2 years ago

antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media notes are in each slide’s comments 2 years ago
antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media my view of the media and technology boundaries, and then I’ll try to tie it together 2 years ago
antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media kind of media being consumed a dichotomy small, fast, cheap; long, expensive, immersive 5 minute youtube clips and individual songs vs. 12-18 hour TV series, bought on DVD and consumed in a single sitting, games with 40 hours of play, even movies going 3 hours+ (can movies ever really be immersive in terms of story?) the traditional time unit of media - 30 minutes to 2 hours (a TV show, an album, a film) - disappears, at least in consumption (the dichotomy holds for websites, too) 2 years ago
antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media virtual size of media is growing quickly, as the physical size disappears media I have with me just now: 150 gb in my computer 150 gb portable hard disk 4gb in my camera 8gb in my phone 4 gb memory stick 1gig ipod 325 gb without really thinking at home I have 3 computers, network storage, various backup disks.... 2 terabytes swallowable media - 8-16gb micro SD cards 6 movies, 100 albums discographies, life works, complete genres, not individual albums or films 2 years ago
antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media size of connection 3Mbit mobile Internet 10-20Mbit fixed Internet 100Mbit wireless networking 1Gbit fixed networking no ubiquitous - always working - wireless connections local sharing is always going to be an order of magnitude faster fixed Internet is getting ’fast enough’ - but putting 60Gb of music in the cloud took over a month 2 years ago
antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media cost of Internet fixed cost for consumers but variable for producers popular things on the Internet bankrupt you (video, 8 years ago - 4 pounds every download) hard problem maybe ubiquitous streaming or downloading isn’t the right model 2 years ago
antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media the panacea of media always-on, always-available, fixed cost, unlimited library of media - think of it, get it straight away never going to happen (never say never) easily copiable, sharable, swappable media memory sticks and burnt CDs/DVDs, not (just) P2P ease of use is a key luxury - easier for me to buy a DVD box set, than wrangle my media 2 years ago
antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media what does this mean for mobile? mobiles are a ubiquitous screen and player but will mainly be fed at digital oasis, or via portable exchange mobile has focussed on creation, rather than consumption context predicates kinds of media audio for cars 3 minute clips for waits most importantly, the living room video is the the next media to be consumed into devices (broadcast) TV - maybe interesting solves the cost problem at least we tend to assume clouds of networks - especially in home and office technically better local sharing, SD slots, next generations of Bluetooth, Wireless USB, wifi. Need better user experience, though: NFC & Bonjour. use of better outputs where possible - streaming to TVs, hifis. 2 years ago
antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media curation as well as distribution becomes important merging of media streams - TV + youtube, my music + all my friends recommendations who’s watching/listening/reading what, when friends & popularisers 2 years ago
antimega commented on Ubiquitous Media thank you 2 years ago
antimega commented on Context, data and metadata thank you 2 years ago
antimega commented on Context, data and metadata new social etiquettes will emerge i think about the law of unintended consequences - you can’t predict what will happen we’ve seen this happen with fluidtime - how actually picks a place and time to meet these days? two that come to mind: who moves first? - if everyone can see where all their friends are, when going somewhere, who will move first and actually get their first. fluidplace what will people talk about? - where are you? is one of I think three phone conversation starters - necessary interaction before you can get to what you really want to talk about - if we automate that (and the weather), people will either communicate less or have to find new social norms to talk about 2 years ago
antimega commented on Context, data and metadata privacy issues (no way to represent privacy) i think a lot about it but I refuse to say that new technology is good or bad all have to play along, and work our way through the problems 2 years ago
antimega commented on Context, data and metadata data fuzziness don’t need exact co-ords for most things (and they’re not user friendly) might be city or street 2 years ago
antimega commented on Context, data and metadata broadcast where you are Dopplr Nokia Sports Tracker but at a more local level - I’ve tried a few systems for real-time broadcast of where you and your friends are 2 years ago
antimega commented on Context, data and metadata throw pictures on maps interesting, but, but (usefulness when static/not on mobile, go from sparse maps to too much of everything very quickly) 2 years ago
antimega commented on Context, data and metadata "throw me on maps" 4 years ago, sufficiently advanced technology… nokia 6600, bluetooth gps, patch antenna, a little app that threw the information to my web server a couple of days travel in Helsinki GPS traces/failures 2 years ago
