Change Your Digital Life: Get a Biochip Implant?
In a special episode of Naked Media, digital media consultant and thinker (and sometimes Teeming Media collaborator) Amy Webb talks about trends that will have a huge impact on our digital life — and our media, including:
- The geospacial Web. Stuff that knows where you are and sends you content (or ads and so on) accordingly.
- Mobile broadband and Wi-max. Not only at speeds claimed as hi as FiOS, but also a way for those who . As Amy says, “we may not need television sets” because of ubiquitous high-speed connectivity. And new use of high-speed devices.
- New phones that can receive over-the-air broadcast signals. Meaning you can watch TV on your phone. As in real TV, “in exceptional quality.” And the cameras on teh phone use geospacial Web technologies.
- The Semantic Web, which lets machines do things that people do today, such as learning and discovering information, and working with natural language.
Amy weaves them together, with specific examples of the companies and tools, and gives a great look into how the technologies work — and don’t (and why Japan is able to advance way beyond the U.S.. so far.) A must-see for anyone thinking beyond today.
Also, a riff on why we all need biochip implants, and person-on-the-street interviews about the goodies they were (and weren’t) planning to buy for the holidays.
