Welcome to the age of contextual flow<< Windows Live is just barely | Main | When perception is reality or is seeing really believing? >> Michael Gartenberg | November 03, 2005, 08:51 AM Latest Computerworld article talks about the shift from digital ubiquity and the age of contextual flow. What is contextual flow? This notion builds on the digital ubiquity concepts but takes them much further. Contextual flow is marked by the seamless transition from one digital context to another, regardless of location or type of device used or the nature of the content or information being accessed. That might sound like a tall order, but users are going to expect this level of service -- and expect it soon. We're still living in a world where too much of the information we need is stored in silos. Meanwhile, people work and play in different places than they used to, and they want their information to flow freely and follow them as their individual contexts change. We'll have a lot to say about this in our research in the weeks and months ahead. |
