Highlights from the presentation
The theme of the presentation was humans and economy
- It's first about us, then comes technology
- The economy has changed, many have not seen that
Where did the audience stand?
- Personal experiences of electronic media?
- You have to have that in order to plan your future!
Global trends and the sitation in Sweden
Although there is an intense debate today in Sweden, we have to
remember that this is only a part of a larger global trend. Which
has been under development for years.
- International business press has IT on their covers
- Swedish media reflects uninterest and fear
Four important information trends:
- From information push to pull
- From mass to individuals
- From communication to conversation
- From paper to digital
Societys change
History tells us about paradigm shifts and their deep impacts
on humans. Rich became poor, people lost their jobs. People had
to move…
- From agriculture to industry
- From industry to information
- Part old, part new - what have we learned?
My research
- About contents
- About the importance of packages
- Multimedia as an electronic package
Different kinds of means for contents distribution
- Physical versus Electronic
- Off-Line versus On-Line
- BBSes, On-Line services, the Internet
TV is next
- Video has gone digital
- Desk Top Video production
- An explosion in the number of channels
- New TV consumption patterns
Summary
- It was about electronic media
- It is available today
- It is already late to start
- Bring your heart along the way
Thank you!
