Panelists: Irwin Chen, Jill Nussbaum, Dan Paluska, Ian Spalter
For many decades, we thought our future would be full of shiny gadgets that would make our lives easier, without necessarily changing how we lived. Now we know that we’re in the earliest stages of what may be tectonic cultural shifts, including transformations in the way we read, work, and perceive ourselves and others – and these changes will also impact the way we create future technologies. We know that our lives won’t look or feel like the ones that George and Judy Jetson lived, but what will our interactions with technology be like, and how will they change us? Join us for a panel discussion investigating the future of reading, personal informatics, and robotic, kinetic, and collaborative media.Socializing to follow!
