SIUI - Libraries & the Post-PC Era
4 likes6,653 views
The document summarizes a presentation about how libraries need to adapt to changes brought about by new mobile and portable computing devices. It notes that library visitors and website traffic increasingly come from mobile devices rather than traditional computers. It also discusses the shift to touch interfaces and how wearable technologies may become more prevalent in the future. The presentation argues that libraries need mobile-first strategies, should look outside themselves for trends, and prepare for an influx of digital information as more services move online.

- 51. By “wearable computing” I mean mobile computing where both computer-generated graphics and the real world are seamlessly overlaid in your view; there is no separate display that you hold in your hands (think Terminator vision). The underlying trend as we’ve gone from desktops through laptops and notebooks to tablets is one of having computing available in more places, more of the time.
- 52. The logical endpoint is computing everywhere, all the time – that is, wearable computing – and I have no doubt that 20 years from now that will be standard, probably through glasses or contacts, but for all I know through some kind of more direct neural connection.
- 53. And I’m pretty confident that platform shift will happen a lot sooner than 20 years – almost certainly within 10, but quite likely as little as 3-5, because the key areas – input, 3-5 processing/power/size, and output – that need to evolve to enable wearable computing are shaping up nicely, although there’s a lot still to be figured out.

- 66. Douglas Adams said... 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
