'There's no reason to take the Web as it comes. Not when there are Firefox add-ons that turn Web pages into putty that you can shape as you wish. These three--Zotero, MashLogic, and RSVP Reader--let you gather and store all or parts of Web pages, open a customizable info box for whatever topics you encounter, and convert a block of text into a string of phrases that flash in a box at a speed you control.'

'As noted earlier, the point of this research project was to learn about the ways in which forms of institutional support can be better aligned with the evolving curriculum at Carleton. Findings critical for designing a more effective curricular support model fall into three categories relating to elements of institutional culture, the process of student acculturation as it relates to seeking curricular support, and the importance of facilitating work across organizational boundaries. The following list of findings include the most significant ones in terms of improving institutional forms of curricular support (a full list is available in our research report). '

'I’ve alluded to this many times; AR would allow for more information to be “connected” to an object, and I left it at that. You could take a painting or an archaeological treasure and surround it with extra bits of media, floating text boxes, video or maybe a ghostly hyperlink to a collection database entry (if you’re unimaginative).
Stuff that you could do on paper and screens, ultimately. Oh, you could design a better UI to hold the information. Historically, museums aren’t interested in that. Something like AR that smells a bit like an “optical Internet” (a phrase Bruce Sterling rightfully sneers at), it’s most likely going to be a bought product or outsourced to a freelancer. Few museums will want to get involved with designing that architecture. They’ll want to buy something they can fill. So what can AR do for collections management?'

'But trying to grapple with what comes next is a deep problem. Doing so is partly a matter of science fiction, which consists, after all, of the stories we tell about the future. Doing so is also an issue of complexity, since each practice, or device, or network, or application comes embedded in a nest of other practices, or devices, or networks, or applications. Emerging technologies are a matter not only of qualitative challenge but also of sheer quantitative overload. Web 2.0, gaming, wireless and mobile devices, virtual worlds, even Web 3.0 in all its unrealized potential—each churns out new developments daily and connects with other domains to ramp up the problem still further.'
