Sent From The Future
This is a short film (a fast paced preview of a larger effort) by MAYA Design created to put some perspective on the invisible but fast approaching challenges and opportunities in the pervasive computing age. For more information please visit: http://www.maya.com/practices/research Really interested in the implications of a trillion-node world? Read Dr. Peter Lucas’s seminal white paper that not only predicted this sort of scaling and complexity but outlined some of the resilient patterns that we need to follow to get there from here. http://www.maya.com/portfolio/the-trillion-node-network
Some of you may have received an email or seen a Posterous post from me that was sent from my BlackBerry. I consider smartphone’s a step towards that bigger mountain called ‘The Future’.
My signature for all my email addresses linked to my smartphone reads:
sent from the future
I put the Apple logo there because I’m a recent Mac convert and fanatic. The more important part is the last part… ’sent from the future’.
I put that there for two reasons,
1. When I send a weird photo to posterous it gets some laughs because it says it has been sent from the future
2. Is because I believe the future is all about hand held computing and beyond.
It’s my, possibly subliminal way, of pushing the agenda of climbing that bigger mountain of the future.
As John put it…
Let’s keep pushing. Time to get out your climbing gear.
Good video. Thanks.
I like the reference to the number of parts in a biological systems
