• People and buildings can emit an interactive digital ‘aura’

• This gives a dual appearance– Real world - same for

everyone– Virtual world - depends

To see our future,

think of the world the next

generation are growing up in

The world to a 18 year old today• Born in 1993· Phones have always had push buttons, why dial a number?· Mobile phones are the normal, not having one is abnormal!· SMS and Instant messaging is the way to communicate with

friends (or is it facebook today)· They will have 1 contact number through most of their life

· How many contact numbers have you had in your life?· When did you get your 1 contact number?

· They have always had an answering service, why have an answer phone?

The world to a 18 year old today· Most have never seen a black and white TV apart from “crimewatch”• There have always been VCR’s, (not for much longer)· How did you live with only 4 TV channels?· They cannot fathom a life without a remote control. · What do you mean I sound like a broken record,

· is that error 404 file not found?

· Music is all about mp3, AAC etc.· They will carry “their” music in an iPod like device· Device cost 50-200 $ and holds 14K$ worth of music

· They have likely never played Pac Man, and have never heard of "Pong.”

Will you admit to your grandchildrenthat these games kept you occupied ?

ICT as History

Kids spend to much time on games!

Virtual Tours

How are you journeying through the digital age?

The Information Revolution has only just started

We usually underestimate the impact … underestimate the time it will take… fail to spot the final uses … Ridicule the whole idea

But We rarely uninvent things! They just change their names
