The Web and Beyond 2008

Mobility (May 22, 2008 - Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam NL)
The Web is in a state of motion: no longer is it primarily being accessed through PCs, but more and more does it find its way into our phones, our cars, on the streets and in buildings. And once there, the Web is interacting with us in smarter and richer ways than before. Bluetooth or RFID in a busstop personalises the map and advertisements, your friend’s car knows today’s best way to your home, your mobile phone suggests the best place to eat tomorrow, oh, and your online best friends (all 176 of them) will know you have been there before you have a chance to tell them. Mobility traditionally refers to characteristics in devices to handle information access, communication and business transactions while in a state of motion. What if we place users at the center of attention? What does mobility mean to humans in a state of motion who interact with technological devices in their surroundings? The Web and Beyond 2008: Mobility, a conference organized by Chi Netherlands, explores.
