"Ambient Findability"

A co-worker is reading Ambient Findability by information architect Peter Moreville.

It deals with rapidly changing technology and information overload.He takes a look at information-seeking behavior and the new landscape of "ubitquitous computing."

Questions he poses:

How do you know what to trust when there is so much data available in so many forms? How does all of this influence our decisions?

Does all of this information make us a more literate and informed society?

Does push-pull technology provide us targeted information or constant in-your-face annoyance?

What is the value in virtual realities?

How can we keep consuming device after device?

The book is published by our old friends at O'Reilly. I look forward to reading it.
