The search for the human element of Digital Britain

March 13, 2009 | 1 Comment

As we have mentioned to some of you, Amanda and I were a little miffed coming out of the Digital Britain session with Lord Carter last month.  The fact that the government has recognised the benefits of supporting digital developments is awesome don’t get me wrong, however the report focuses predominantly on industry and fails to mention how they are going to help get more of the UK population online and support smaller start ups.  We hosted two seminars at Amplified that afternoon to compile people’s feedback with the intention of submitting a response to the report.

The other day I was having a nice cuppa with Mr Earls when we both realised that responses to the report had to be in this week.  Hauling ass Amanda and I have put together our 5 point proposal of topics we feel need to be included within the report and submitted this to government yesterday.  You can view our response here and Mark’s here.  Will keep you updated.

You gotta love MIT.  Sixthsense is a wearable projector that interacts with your surrounding environment by overlaying interactive content over everyday items that allow the user to find out more information.  Nice.
