Wei Zhou’s Blog

I gave a talk about future web trends the other day, here’s a link for the original Vimeo video:

Design or Die – Innovation, UCD, Web and Life (Mozilla Labs Design Challenge: Spring 09) from Mozilla Labs – Concept Series on Vimeo.

I listed four themes for the future web, they are:

1. Data. Open, linked data and Metadata.

- Semantic web

- Human computation

2. Self. Self representation.

- Personalization

- Self extension

3. World. A connected world.

- Tangible interaction

- Contextual awareness

4. Life. A digitalized life.

- Virtual reality

- Service web

I also raised about the topics of:

1. What is design?

2. Designer’s multiple roles

3. Where indeed does innovation come from?

4. Custimazable user centered design process.
