The Future of Media, MIT-Style:
“Maeda took us first to the Physical Language Workshop, where researchers are working on ‘tools for creating digital content in a networked environment, and the means by which the content can be leveraged.’ Their primary areas of focus are ‘general digital media service architectures, global e-commerce, distance education, and visual information display systems.’ We previewed a number of projects, ranging from ‘simple’ applets to make sharing digital images easier, to more complex systems that would make organizing, searching, and sharing all digital information (video, audio, data, etc.) quicker, easier, and more intuitive. I knew I was looking at the next generation of search and digital asset management tools.”
