The last post of the year is a mix of several things that caught my attention.<\/p>\n
Nick Bolton’s article “Disruptions: Wearing your computer on your sleeve<\/a>” triggered a series of posts, and my favourite was the RWW version<\/a>, because it brought out a variety of perspectives and potential use cases, ranging from glasses that act as guides for tourists to “consensual imaging among belief circles” and “to overlay a trusted source’s view of a given scene on mine”.<\/p>\n In an increasingly social world, the above would seem a very obvious choice. However, there’s an interesting statement in the post, attributed to Mike Kuniavsky\u00a0is “I feel people already ignore the complexity of reality too much and tend to live on parallel planes that exclude ideas that challenge theirs.” <\/em>I saw a related theme in JWT’s 10 trends for 2012 – “Reengineering Randomness” (#7), which acknowledges that as our world and consumption becomes more customised, there will be a greater emphasis on reintroducing randomness.<\/p>\n
