UNPRECEDENTED CHANGES AHEAD
"The next decade of opportunity.. will be about …helping customers create an "intelligent economy" on top of this mobile, virtual, and social technology platform. In 2011 cloud-based solutions, mobile devices and apps, wireless broadband, virtualization and converged infrastructure, social networking, smart devices, and "big data" analytics — move from early-adopter status to the beginnings of mainstream adoption.”

BOOKS TO E-BOOKS: 1.0 to 1.1?
[publishers should] turn from the disruptive innovations of ebooks and ereaders to the creation of sustaining innovations that improve those technologies. Ania Wieckowski -‐Harvard Business Review Feb 2010
21
“the ebook [doesn’t] really have that much to offer consumers over a physical book”
Digital content is not a format or a replacement for a physical
product.
22
SERVICES NEED MORE THAN CONTENT
23
Community– Bonds with friends
– Social capital– Wisdom of crowds
Context– Time
– Device / Environment– Location
Content– Media
– User-‐generated– Metadata
Three “Cs” are needed to make compelling services and apps
SOCIAL READING IN ACTION
