I was reminded of just that today when my [...]

Is video REALLY going to take over the Internet?
I just read this really interesting piece by Ian Lamont on The Industry Standard. I’ve spoken here previously about the fact that video is NOT interactive, but is instead an inherently passive media. So I was happy to read sentences like this in Ian’s article:

About This Blog
At Operand, we design and develop interactive experiences for a living. We have a somewhat unique view of what interactivity means. In brief, we think it's bigger and more expansive than most other people seem to. We define six levels of interactivity and blog about art, architecture, advertising, exhibits, and other innovations that elevate interactivity.

ckBot Modular Robots
Wow! Very impressive. My mind is racing over the possibilities for this technology, small computer controlled robotic “critters” that can function independently and as a single unit. It’s amazing what good research and highly educated /creative individuals can do when they put their mind to it. Keep up the good work.
