Richard Leggett on New Media

Just a quick reminder to say I’ll be presenting my talk “Touching the Future” at LFPUG tomorrow night. All the details can be found over at the site.

Subjects discussed include:

• Media management/subscription based models
• Matured DRM (DRM that works)
• Convergence of devices / desktops
• Resulting paradigm shift (Google “Android project” mentality)
• Surveillance, the future of tracking (Amazon)
• Privacy when always online (public/private “personas")
• Proliferation of sensors in devices (enabling “magic")
• Augmented reality (advertisting)
• Cloud Computing (Information/Media Piping/Mashups for the many)
• Ubiquitous computing (social/physical impact)

You can find the slides and source here.

Elmer will also be presenting, on the subject of “Collaboration in Education". This looks to be a really interesting view on how technology can be used to provide better face-to-face
communication between individuals, such as pupils in schools, amongst other things. Look forward to seeing you at Cosmo bar.
