1. Q-Talk by Mike Parsons
EMERGING TECHNOLOGY AND EXPERIENCE DESIGN

2. LET’S TALK EXPONENTIAL
“Our intuition about the future is linear. But the reality of
information technology is exponential, and that makes a
profound difference. If I take 30 steps linearly, I get to 30. If I
take 30 steps exponentially, I get to a billion.”
RAY KURZWEIL

43. It’s a bit like your home address. You can publish
your home address publicly, but that doesn’t give
any information about what your home looks like
on the inside.
You’ll need your private key to enter your private
home, and since you have claimed that address as
yours, no one else can claim the same address as
theirs.

46. openbazaar.org
Instead of visiting a website,
you download and install a
program on your computer
that directly connects you to
other people looking to buy
and sell goods and services
with you.
This peer to peer network isn't
controlled by any company or
organization - it's a
community of people who
want to engage in trade
directly with each other.

71. In a point-and-click
interface, the designer
creates the vocabulary.
There’s a finite number of
buttons on a screen. But in
chat, that’s not true.
There are over a million
words in the English
language alone; multiply
that by the number of
languages out there. The
surface area of the chat
interface is almost
untestable in normal ways.
OUCH!

OUCH!
