START:
people's views of 2020:
technology will change and people will be left behind. people won't change the technology will
next generation are already working faster and multi-tasking quicker than our generations do. things have moved on so quickly and will continue to do so
my child was surfing the internet at 2 years. technology will set the scene for the way we learn even more so in the future
24-7 video access to the world in real time is imminent
2020 - flexibility and quickness will be key. more opportunity for global collaboration
very small steps of change will continue but greater opportunities to take risks
the speed at which people do things is 'just there' now. Nothing technological is onerous
will craft make a come back in light of techno babble?
our students define themselves dues to their specialisation - less of a process more about outcomes for future students
It's 11 years away!
Not all about technology. People drive the change in technology not the other way around
technology will become transparent
degrees of mobility
how will people make money through technology with everything getting easier and more accessible. the business models are quite quickly changing. Resource limitation a big issue
MICROSOFT FILM:
Danger of lack of direct people to people communication due to a reliance on technology and through technology
FURTHER THOUGHTS:
Have we really changed that much in the past 11 years? We shop more and consume more online but has it fundamentally changed the way we are?
democratisation of technology means more personalised expression and capability in production, education and business
divides will get bigger
services more important than product
less need to for travel more for collaboration
teaching, business and social models will all change massively
environmental
Paolo Barones perspective:
An evangelist, not a salesman. Visioning where the industry is going
No mouse and no keyboard - the removal of the middle interface. Simplifying the interface experience. That is the microsoft view.
Everything Microsoft visioned 5 years ago as blue sky is now possible.
We generally over estimate what is possible in next three years. Under estimate 5 years.
The ambition is to make the technology transparent. Why do we have internet 2.0 and enterprise 2.0 but not TV 2.0.
Finland and Spain will guarantee 1 megabit connection as basic human right by 2012. Fundamental to existence.
All content will be delivered through the network through separate plastic devices and discs.
Is 3D TV the TV 2.0 equivalent of web 2.0
The technology is creating more barriers to person to person communication not improving it
How many relationships can people humanly manage? There's a bit of psychological research to do in this area.
People actually want a passive experience. They don't want to interact. Some will and some won't.
The front room becomes an interactive not a passive space. Phsyical space will shrink. Can shrink as a result.
Its a generational thing. The young people will interact with TV programmes where we may not.
Teaching confidence and craft with technology is key to institutions like Ravensbourne. More than the level of competence held by the general public. You still need to have to understand the history and development of technology to plan where it can go.
Used to be about buying the product. That is about to change to the service. If it does then what people do with the technology will become much more important and meaningful.
Technology is still controled by inward looking wealthy small numbers.
What is the impact of us creating a never forgetting memory for all? Do societies and generations need to forget?
Web archaelogy will become a new discipline.
We are having a conversation today that our kids would find basic and simple.
People's creativity needs to be tuned to shape the technology of the future. Can people's inventiveness move faster than the technology?
Tutors still feel we are told what to do with with technology and not given the opportunity to make it and personalise it themselves. I disagree with this.
Freehand has disapeared and you can't use it any more. This is nonsense.
New technologies still need a solid craft teaching behind them.
No technology has to die today. You can emulate any old platform and software.
We are getting to a point where the technology is transparent and if this becomes totally successful the importance of craft will rise again. The need to be able to draw on screen.
It's not about technology or craft it's about the coming together of both.
There is good design and bad design. Good craft and bad craft.
The desire to finesse and perfect is at risk as a result of the democratisation of the technologies.
Line between producer and consumer has gone. I would argue that the line between avergae producer and professional producer has not gone. Programmes like Life exemplify this. As the barriers get higher so does the final quality. Vimeo os the other example of this.
As technology advances so should peoples demand for quality.
Is the quality of narative more important than ever. Production values worth less and less to the majority if consumers.
Students need to be taught the full range of tools for the job and their appropriateness to decide on the best tool and the best technology.
What's the cost of technological advancement for an institution like Ravensbourne? Waste, redundancy, initial financial cost. Cost to a student and cost to the institution. Rise of illegal software.
Will software producers release free software but take and IP stake in what is produced by its use among students.
Rave needs to demand a level 0 in technology. Basic entry skills in software. This selection criteria isn't yet applied.
We really need more technology evangelists at the institution.
If Ravensbourne stays as a traditional design school do you feel it will survive?
Personalisation and customisation of the student experience will be critical to the future success of Ravensbourne. The option to be remote or physical as desired by students is key.
There's traditional craft and there's digital craft.
Education models and business will change massively. UoP and curation potentials. What Ravensbourne is doing now will be done by most institutions in 10 years time. The technology will be hidden.
The importance of the Ravensbourne experience, the space, pull factor will become more important. Not less. Like live music renaissance today when you can access it for free.
Outcomes:
Opportunity for greater discussion across course leaders and courses at the college would be valuable. Use blog as a gathering point for good practice and thought development and leadership going forward within the college and with other institutions. Sally will set up human opportunities to do this too.
The bigger issues are not about digital at Ravensbourne.
One digital size does not fit all courses and all issues across them.
Will be interesting to do this discussion again after we've relocated when people are over the nervousness of relocation.
