Personal Platforms and the Future Of Communication
I found this simple and to-the-point presentation of what the future of digital will be like in 2010 by Rob Manson (@nambor). Essentially, we are moving towards more personalised platforms, and we are not just getting connected but staying connected with all the people in our network.
Pranav Mistry and Pattie Maes from MIT gave TED attendees this year a demo of the Sixth Sense, a wearable device with a projector that helps us interact with our environment, which is shown in one of the final slides of this presentation. I can’t help wondering where the next evolution of a product like Sixth Sense will take us – currently it allows us to interact with our environment, but maybe one day we can interact with our friends in a similar manner. This Nokia Augmented Reality video is one version of such a world:
What do you think? What will our personal platform be like in a few years’ time?

No the way I saw it they’re in a relationship. Committed – or at least I think so!!!

So I guess Nokia sanctions illicit affairs then. We have to come up with a better personal platform. Unless people don’t have a problem with it – who knows…….

I can interact with my environment and friends without the need for something like Sixth Sense.
