WWDB or World Wide Data Base, by Kevin Kelly

Kevin Kelly has a particular way of presenting his complex views on technology matters without being oversimplified. I saw his talk before, via TED. I even have used his talk on “How does technology evolve” when I gave a presentation at ECA/USP (http://www.eca.usp.br/ in Portuguese). His last talk published by TED (The next 5,000 days of the web) was now updated and presented last Friday during the Web 2.0 Summit, San Francisco, CA. He moved from 5,000 days into a forecast of the next 6,500 days of what KK calls “a data base of things”.

WHY: Regarding Tangible Embedded Interactions we will face a great deal of influence from web-enabbled devices and connectivity. A trend that is often overlooked by fellow product designers that tend to limit them selves to the materialization/embodiment of the product. There is a overlap between both talks (TED and Web2.0 summit) but I post the second one as it offers links to other interesting talks on Web2.0 summit 08. Good overview about future of web: as media, as entertainment and as technology.
