			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-922" title="Screen-shot-2010-12-13-at-Mon-12-13-12.03" src="http://www.utopsie.com/word/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Screen-shot-2010-12-13-at-Mon-12-13-12.03.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="343" /></p>
<p>Il y a deux semaines, à l&#8217;UQAM, dans le cadre du cours Design graphique et culture, j&#8217;ai donné une conférence devant *gasp* plus de deux cent étudiant(e)s dans une grande salle avec un gigantesque écran géant. J&#8217;ai vraiment adoré l&#8217;experience, et je remercie M. Marc Choko pour l&#8217;opportunité, surtout d&#8217;avoir à réviser les highlights de ma carrière de designer web, mais aussi d&#8217;avoir à clarifier le pourquoi du comment de ce que je fais ça toute la journée depuis autour de 20 ans. Merci aussi aux étudiants qui m&#8217;ont écouté avec attention. Et la gang qui jasait, et le dude qui cognait des clous, ben, moi aussi j&#8217;ai déjà été étudiant, je le prends pas trop personnel.</p>
<p>Ce qui m&#8217;a le plus marqué c&#8217;était la présence des «smartphones» et des laptops ouverts, sur presque tous les bureaux, plogués pour la plupart sur une page facebook. My my, ça faisait longtemps que je n&#8217;avais pas mis les pieds dans une salle d&#8217;université! Et j&#8217;ai eu l&#8217;impression d&#8217;avoir manqué un peu la parade, bien que j&#8217;étais là quand elle commençait à peine, il y a 12 ans&#8230;</p>
<p>Donc, trève de choses sérieuses, j&#8217;avais promis de mettre mes notes de conférence en ligne, et je l&#8217;ai fait. Mais quelques étudiant(e)s n&#8217;ont pas noté la seule adresse qui importait, celle des notes de conférence. En trouvant cette page, peut-être ça va être plus facile en cliquant <a href="www.utopsie.com/design_graphique_et_culture" target="_self">ICI</a>. Parce que tsé, y paraît qu&#8217;il y a genre des examens là-dessus, pis toutte. Il reste encore des trucs à l&#8217;université qui n&#8217;ont pas changé.</p>
<p>Pour terminer, pour les tl:dnr de la gang, voici le lien que vous cherchez : <a href="www.utopsie.com/design_graphique_et_culture" target="_blank">www.utopsie.com/design_graphique_et_culture</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Top Twenty Tech Trends for Twenty Ten to Twenty Twenty.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">I&#8217;ve divided these into predictions for this year, the next five years, and the coming decade. I had planned to go with ten trends, but this is the era of generosity (see #20).</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">1 /1 year &#8211; Handmade papercraft construction designs will die of overexposure</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">You&#8217;ve seen these just about everywhere, they are very cool. But it is inevitable that creativity-challenged advertising agencies will destroy this idea, the same way they destroyed the &#8220;viral video&#8221;. By using them to sell cheap and tacky products that no one wants or needs, and plastering everything you can see with their sub-quality version. It will act as a vaccine and nobody will be able to even look at these without throwing up. By the end of 2010, this cool trend will be dead.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">2 /1 year &#8211; The Apple Tablet will change the world</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Just like nobody was able to predict the shape, functions and market-shifting powers of the iPhone, the Thing That Has Yet To Be Revealed will fill a gigantic hole that exists exactly in everyone&#8217;s blind spot. And it will be huger that huge. Today, every. single. phone. manufacturer is doing an exact clone of the iPhone, while not even coming close to its level of quality and richness of experience. In 2010 Apple will repeat this apparently superhuman feat once again. I will give you my own predictions about this in an upcoming post.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">3 /1 year &#8211; Comics will explode on the upcoming and yet unannounced Apple Tablet</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Of course this fabled Magic Tablet still only exists in the imagination of… everyone, actually. But, like Microsoft, all they can imagine it doing is the old stuff in a new box. E-Books, email and web browsing. Now imagine a comic book page, in full color, zoomable and digitally distributed. Remember that a scanned comic book is just a bunch of jpegs, and zips right down that Torrent hose you got plugged into that computer of yours. Books without pictures do not stand a chance.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">4 /1 year &#8211; Personal media</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Facebook, Twitter and blogs will reach even further into the mediasphere, eating up more and more valuable space that was previously dominated by Big Media. Breaking News are, uh, broken more and more by, um, regular ol&#8217; people. The main part of a journalist&#8217;s job in 2010 will be separated into two parts: 1, complain about how irresponsible the masses are, with their twittering and somesuch, and 2, joining the new world and participating themselves. Of course, you know which ones I think will still have a job by the end of the decade.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">5 /1 year /5 years /10 years &#8211; Copyright Schmopyright</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Copyright and digital distribution issues are still in the air, but it&#8217;s a safe bet that some semblance of solution will have taken hold by the end of the decade. One thing is clear is that the existing model is broken and the new one has not been installed yet. Personally, I&#8217;m leaning towards a monthly all-you-can-eat digital content subscription that would include music, movies, books, games, and anything else we haven&#8217;t thought of yet. Among other things, it would get rid of piracy. More on this later.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">6 /5 years &#8211; The Cloud becomes The Fog</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Clouds are up in the sky. Way up. Walking in a city today it&#8217;s still rare to find a Wi-Fi connection that lets you tweet, update your facebook and read your email everywhere. But in a relatively near future, the cloud comes down to street level. It becomes The Fog. Wi-Fi (or whatever replaces it) will, eventually, inevitably, become as accessible &#8211; if not more &#8211; as radio waves. Being disconnected will be the exception.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">7 /5 years &#8211; Ubiquitous access</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Subway rides will be the perfect example of this. You will read your news, check out the highlights of last night&#8217;s game &#8211; or party &#8211; and generally go about your digital life while sitting comfortably until you get to your station. Reading a dead-tree news paper will become a little embarrassing. Like, for idiots and tree-killers.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">8 /5 years &#8211; Invisible, infinite storage</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">A good example is the personal media player. Storage will eventually disappear, replaced by a managed key that gives you access either to what you have purchased, or to you digital media subscription. It will be an antenna, not a box.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">9 /5 years &#8211; Screen resolution becomes meaningless</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">As much in small handheld, arms-length or wall-hung devices, screen resolution is going through a turmoil. 480p, 720, 1080, 4k, whatever! Because of the exploding multitude of formats available today, combined with the incoming and never-ending formats coming in tomorrow, most people will just give up and read/watch what they want in whatever format is accessible at the moment they want to access it. You can&#8217;t expect people to buy a $2000 plasma screen this year and to get a new one next year. Expect resolution-independent design to become the next interface trend.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">10 /5 years &#8211; One More Thing from Apple</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">More and more fictitious yet amazing Apple products will be willed into existence by the Collective Hive Mind. Apple will retain its central position as the R&amp;D department for the entire tech industry.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">11 /5 years &#8211; Movies get longer still</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">We&#8217;ve been seeing this in the last couple of years from the likes of Quentin Tarantino, Peter Jackson, the Wachowski brothers and James Cameron. Digital technology and ego inflation are pushing this trend very firmly. There will come a time when a movie rental and a TV-Series rental will be indistinguishable in length.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">12 /5 years &#8211; Computers become smarter</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Repetitive tasks will finally be taken over by the smart computer. Whenever it senses you doing the same thing more than three times in a row, it will ask you if you want it to take over for you. Simple enough, but nobody seems to putting their brain cycles on this one.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">13 /5 years &#8211; Magazines and Blogs will merge</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">As the traditional magazine&#8217;s structure, content, distribution and readership are increasingly overtaken by blogs, they will merge into a new &#8220;thing&#8221; that will be a morph of the two, and which has yet to be named. The fact that you will read both of them on your Tablet in the bathroom will further muddy the distinction.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">14 /5 years &#8211; The emergence of Personal Media</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Maybe this will be the name of that new thing. There was a time when a major weekly publication needed an office full of people to merely exist. Today a fat guy with a laptop can and does compete &#8211; successfully &#8211; with that old structure. Digital technology has allowed solitary geeks to make bedroom music and movies, and now it will allow them to publish full-blown &#8220;magazines&#8221;. Glossy-quality publications about personal obsessions, be it Barbie collections, obscure bands or world affairs. The little fanzine that could, will.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">15 /5 years &#8211; Better battery life</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">In the same way a fish cannot conceive the existence of animals climbing on trees, I see nothing in this direction. The future seems closed.  I just keep hoping that within 5 years a new, unexpected technology will… happen, that will do for portable energy storage what has been happening to portable computing&#8217;s processing power. Allowing us to envision 10-day power and infinitely rechargeable batteries.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">16 /10 years &#8211; Ubiquitous manufacturing</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">This is barely starting now, it&#8217;s still in the realm of garage-geeks and science fiction, but personal fabrication machines, 3D printers, replicators, whatever you might want to call them, are coming, and they are coming to a counter near you. They will become a fact of life. That handle that broke off your laptop, the pen cap you lost, the switch on that lamp that isn&#8217;t working like it used to? You will be able to download a file, or scan it, and then print an exact and functional replica. This will reduce the quantity of broken coffee machines you will find on the side of the street come garbage day.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">17 /10 years &#8211; The death of Journalism</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Journalism as we know it &#8211; something that has only existed since de mid-19th century &#8211; will die its inescapable death, and not without an ugly fight. But it is going away, as surely as vinyl LPs and gas-powered lighting. In its place, a form of &#8220;human media&#8221; will emerge. A global village conversation, which disappeared when the broadcast model was incapable of scaling it to the masses it was distributed to. Journalism will have been a chapter, a temporary blindness. I mean, do you really believe in the fiction that they call the &#8220;objective voice&#8221;?</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">18 /10 years &#8211; The new Privacy</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Today you expect to be able to access all information. Yet you also expect to be able to block certain facts from that access. Really, who do you think will win that fight? Google and Wikipedia (and the things that will replace these) will know everything about you and about everyone and everything else. This is not something that we will escape. Human curiosity knows no limits, and you and your life are subject to it. It will take a long time, but people will eventually get used to this and get on with their connected lives. And wonder how the hell did they even function before.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">19 /10 years &#8211; Popular culture opens to the World</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Maybe it&#8217;s because the Web will have beaten them to the punch, but within the next ten years, Hollywood will finally accept the fact that the rest of the world&#8217;s culture has value, and will start releasing dubbed movies, instead of crappy remakes with Ted Danson. Also, the studios will realize that it&#8217;s way cheaper this way.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">20 /10 years &#8211; Generosity</div>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: 0px; width: 1px; height: 1px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">Giving things away, doing more than what is expected, access to cheap power, communications and resources, these will usher in a new era of plenty. The poor will be rich. Websites and piracy are conditioning us to this frame of  mind, and it will want to expand to everything else in your life. The decade of Tewnty Ten will be the decade of generosity.</div>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-800" title="TTTTT_Maya" src="http://www.utopsie.com/word/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/TTTTT_Maya.jpg" alt="TTTTT_Maya" width="450" height="450" /></p>
<p>The Internet is now almost 20 years old (depending of how you split the hairs) and its effect on life, industry and society has been <em>massive</em>. I&#8217;ve been thinking about what&#8217;s next, and how the Digital Life will continue to affect us, and what the consequences will be on everyday life. Here are some of my reflections. <span id="more-796"></span></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve divided these into predictions for this year, the next five years, and the coming decade. I had planned to go with ten trends, but this is the era of generosity (see #20). If you read &#8217;til the end, I&#8217;d really like to have your opinions on these. Thanks.</p>
<p><strong>1 /1 year &#8211; Handmade papercraft construction designs will die of overexposure</strong><br />
You&#8217;ve seen these just about everywhere, they are very cool. But it is inevitable that creativity-challenged advertising agencies will destroy this idea, the same way they destroyed the &#8220;viral video&#8221;. By using them to sell cheap and tacky products that no one wants or needs, and plastering everything you can see with their sub-quality version. It will act as a vaccine and nobody will be able to even look at these without throwing up. By the end of 2010, this cool trend will be dead.</p>
<p><strong>2 /1 year &#8211; The Apple Tablet will change the world</strong><br />
Just like nobody was able to predict the shape, functions and market-shifting powers of the iPhone, the Thing That Has Yet To Be Revealed will fill a gigantic hole that exists exactly in everyone&#8217;s blind spot. And it will be huger that huge. Today, every. single. phone. manufacturer is doing an exact clone of the iPhone, while not even coming close to its level of quality and richness of experience. In 2010 Apple will repeat this apparently superhuman feat once again. I will give you my own predictions about this in an upcoming post.</p>
<p><strong>3 /1 year &#8211; Comics will explode on the upcoming and yet unannounced Apple Tablet</strong><br />
Of course this fabled Magic Tablet still only exists in the imagination of… everyone, actually. But, like Microsoft, all they can imagine it doing is the old stuff in a new box. E-Books, email and web browsing. Now imagine a comic book page, in full color, zoomable and digitally distributed. Remember that a scanned comic book is just a bunch of jpegs, and zips right down that Torrent hose you got plugged into that computer of yours. Books without pictures do not stand a <em>chance</em>.</p>
<p><strong>4 /1 year &#8211; Personal media</strong><br />
Facebook, Twitter and blogs will reach even further into the mediasphere, eating up more and more valuable space that was previously dominated by Big Media. Breaking News are, uh, broken more and more by, um, regular ol&#8217; <em>people</em>. The main part of a journalist&#8217;s job in 2010 will be separated into two parts. 1: complain about how irresponsible the masses are, with their twittering and somesuch, and 2: joining the new world and participating themselves. Of course, you know which ones I think will still have a job by the end of the decade.</p>
<p><strong>5 /1 year /5 years /10 years &#8211; Copyright Schmopyright</strong><br />
Copyright and digital distribution issues are still in the air, but it&#8217;s a safe bet that some semblance of solution will have taken hold by the end of the decade. One thing is clear is that the existing model is broken and the new one has not been installed yet. Personally, I&#8217;m leaning towards a monthly all-you-can-eat digital content subscription that would include music, movies, books, games, and anything else we haven&#8217;t thought of yet. Among other things, it would get rid of piracy. More on this later.</p>
<p><strong>6 /5 years &#8211; The Cloud becomes The Fog</strong><br />
Clouds are up in the sky. Way up. Walking in a city today it&#8217;s still rare to find a Wi-Fi connection that lets you tweet, update your facebook and read your email everywhere. But in a relatively near future, the cloud comes down to street level. It becomes The Fog. Wi-Fi (or whatever replaces it) will, eventually, <em>inevitably</em>, become as accessible &#8211; if not more &#8211; as radio waves. Being disconnected will be the exception.</p>
<p><strong>7 /5 years &#8211; Ubiquitous access</strong><br />
Subway rides will be the perfect example of this. You will read your news, check out the highlights of last night&#8217;s game &#8211; or party &#8211; and generally go about your digital life while sitting comfortably until you get to your station. Reading a dead-tree news paper will become a little embarrassing. Like, for idiots and tree-killers.</p>
<p><strong>8 /5 years &#8211; Invisible, infinite storage</strong><br />
A good example is the personal media player. Storage will eventually disappear, replaced by a managed key that gives you access either to what you have purchased, or to you digital media subscription. It will be an antenna, not a box.</p>
<p><strong>9 /5 years &#8211; Screen resolution becomes meaningless</strong><br />
As much in small handheld, arms-length or wall-hung devices, screen resolution is going through a turmoil. 480p, 720, 1080, 4k, whatever! Because of the exploding multitude of formats available today, combined with the incoming and never-ending formats coming in tomorrow, most people will just give up and read/watch what they want in whatever format is accessible at the moment they want to access it. You can&#8217;t expect people to buy a $2000 plasma screen this year and to get a new one next year. Expect resolution-independent design to become the next interface trend.</p>
<p><strong>10 /5 years &#8211; One More Thing from Apple </strong><br />
More and more fictitious yet amazing Apple products will be willed into existence by the Collective Hive Mind. Apple will retain its central position as the R&amp;D department<em> for the entire tech industry</em>.</p>
<p><strong>11 /5 years &#8211; Movies get longer still</strong><br />
We&#8217;ve been seeing this in the last couple of years from the likes of Quentin Tarantino, Peter Jackson, the Wachowski brothers and James Cameron. Digital technology and ego inflation are pushing this trend very firmly. There will come a time when a movie rental and a TV-Series rental will be indistinguishable in length.</p>
<p><strong>12 /5 years &#8211; Computers become smart<em>er</em></strong><br />
Repetitive tasks will finally be taken over by the smart computer. Whenever it senses you doing the same thing more than three times in a row, it will ask you if you want it to take over for you. A simple enough concept, but nobody seems to be putting their brain cycles on this one.</p>
<p><strong>13 /5 years &#8211; Magazines and Blogs will merge</strong><br />
As the traditional magazine&#8217;s structure, content, distribution and readership are increasingly overtaken by blogs, they will merge into a new &#8220;thing&#8221; that will be a morph of the two, and which has yet to be named. The fact that you will read both of them on your Tablet in the bathroom will further muddy the distinction.</p>
<p><strong>14 /5 years &#8211; The emergence of Personal Media</strong><br />
Maybe this will be the name of that new thing. There was a time when a major weekly publication needed an office full of people to merely exist. Today a fat guy with a laptop can and does compete &#8211; successfully &#8211; with that old structure. Digital technology has allowed solitary geeks to make bedroom music and movies, and now it will allow them to publish full-blown &#8220;magazines&#8221;. Glossy-quality publications about personal obsessions, be it Barbie collections, obscure bands or world affairs. The little fanzine that could, <em>will</em>.</p>
<p><strong>15 /5 years &#8211; Better battery life</strong><br />
In the same way a fish cannot conceive of the existence of birds living on trees, I see nothing in this direction. The future seems closed.  I just keep hoping that within 5 years a new, unexpected technology will… <em>happen</em>, that will do for portable energy storage what has been happening to portable computing&#8217;s processing power. Allowing us to envision 10-day power and infinitely rechargeable batteries.</p>
<p><strong>16 /10 years &#8211; Ubiquitous manufacturing</strong><br />
This is barely starting now, it&#8217;s still in the realm of garage-geeks and science fiction, but personal fabrication machines, 3D printers, replicators, whatever you might want to call them, are coming, and they are coming to a counter near you. They will become a fact of life. That handle that broke off your laptop, the pen cap you lost, the switch on that lamp that isn&#8217;t working like it used to? You will be able to download a file, or scan it, and then print an exact and functional replica. This will reduce the quantity of broken coffee machines you will find on the side of the street come garbage day.</p>
<p><strong>17 /10 years &#8211; The death of Journalism </strong><br />
Journalism as we know it &#8211; something that has only existed since de mid-19th century &#8211; will die its inescapable death, and not without an ugly fight. But it <em>is</em> going away, as surely as vinyl LPs and gas-powered lighting. In its place, a form of &#8220;human media&#8221; will emerge. A global village conversation, which disappeared when the emerging broadcast model was incapable of scaling it to the masses it was distributed to. Journalism will have been a chapter, a temporary blindness. I mean, do you really believe in the fiction that they call the &#8220;objective voice&#8221;?</p>
<p><strong>18 /10 years &#8211; The new Privacy</strong><br />
Today you expect to be able to access all information. Yet you also expect to be able to block certain facts from that access. Really, who do you think will win <em>that</em> fight? Google and Wikipedia (and the things that will replace these) will know everything about you and about everyone and everything else. This is not something that we will escape. Human curiosity knows no limits, and you and your life are subject to it. It will take a long time, but people will eventually get used to this and get on with their connected lives. And wonder how the hell did they even <em>function</em> before.</p>
<p><strong>19 /10 years &#8211; American popular culture opens up to the World</strong><br />
Maybe it&#8217;s because the Web will have beaten them to the punch, but within the next ten years, Hollywood will finally accept the fact that the rest of the world&#8217;s culture has <em>value</em>, and will start releasing dubbed movies, instead of crappy remakes with Ted Danson. Also, the studios will realize that it&#8217;s way cheaper this way.</p>
<p><strong>20 /10 years &#8211; Generosity</strong><br />
Giving things away, doing more than what is expected, access to cheap power, communications and resources, these will usher in a new era of plenty. The poor will be rich. Websites and piracy are conditioning us to this frame of  mind, and it will want to expand to everything else in your life. The decade of Twenty Ten will be the decade of generosity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exercice de web post-social :</p>
<p>Alors en l&#8217;honneur de mon fascinant nombril, et comme je n&#8217;ai jamais été invité à ce jeu fascinant qui consiste à se dévoiler publiquement puis à tagger quelques suivants*, voici ma contribution.</p>
<p>Les règles sont simples : il s&#8217;agit de lire ces SEPT CHOSES QUI N&#8217;INTÉRESSENT PERSONNE À PROPOS DE MOI. Ensuite vous pouvez aller faire autre chose, au choix. Non, je ne vous demande pas de participer (le premier précepte du web post-social est la non-participation), ni d&#8217;envoyer cette liste à vos amis, ni d&#8217;en parler publiquement, et encore moins de me faire part de vos commentaires. Cette liste n&#8217;existe que pour mon propre grattage de nombril personnel. Et mon nombril est considérable.</p>
<p>Alors voici :</p>
<p>1. Ma couleur préférée c&#8217;est le noir.</p>
<p>2. Je suis myope, et un peu astigmate.</p>
<p>3. J&#8217;adore manger des avocats. J&#8217;en mange souvent.</p>
<p>4. Mon deuxième prénom est Antonio.</p>
<p>5. Enfant, j&#8217;étais plutôt tranquille, et je pleurais souvent.</p>
<p>6. Adolescent, j&#8217;étais vraiment excellent à Génies en herbe.</p>
<p>7. J&#8217;achète souvent de la pâte de tomates au supermarché parce qu&#8217;il ne m&#8217;en reste plus, mais quand j&#8217;arrive chez moi, surprise ! il en restait. J&#8217;essaie donc de penser à ne pas acheter de la pâte de tomates, mais je n&#8217;y arrive pas toujours.</p>
<p>Bref, vous pouvez maintenant continuer à vaquer à vos occupations. Et s&#8217;il vous venait l&#8217;envie de compiler une liste comme celle-ci, je ne saurais assez vous en décourager. Car n&#8217;oubliez pas, 7 choses qui n&#8217;intéressent personne à propos de vous n&#8217;intéressent personne.</p>
<p>*Faux. Le deuxième précepte du web post-social est le mensonge.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alors, samedi matin, je suis tranquillement en train de lire mon journal, et à la page 2, je tombe sur ceci :</p>
<p><img src="http://utopsie.wordpress.com/files/2007/06/070628_recule.jpg" alt="070628_recule.jpg" /></p>
<p>En plein milieu d&#8217;un spread (double page) géant, un sondage sur l&#8217;état d&#8217;esprit des québécois sur leur sujet préféré, ce qu&#8217;on pense d&#8217;eux. En soi ce n&#8217;est pas si mal, on est toujours curieux d&#8217;en apprendre plus sur soi-même. Mais à la question 4 (sur 12), je suis flabergasté (étonné) de constater que le mot <strong>Régresse</strong> contient une EXPLICATION en parenthèses. Apparemment, le mot <strong>Régresse</strong> est un mot trop complexe (dur) pour les lecteurs (acheteurs) de La Presse. Il faut donc en rajouter.</p>
<p>Alors y&#8217;a quelque chose que je ne peux pas comprendre : comment La Presse peut-elle penser que les lecteurs (vous) sont trop stupides (niaiseux) pour comprendre le mot <strong>Régresse</strong> ?</p>
<p>Je vous rappelle qu&#8217;il est clairement placé dans un contexte que la plupart des lecteurs (acheteurs) de La Presse connaissent :  c&#8217;est à dire un sondage, où TOUTES les questions présentent :</p>
<ul>
<li>une réponse positive</li>
<li>une réponse neutre</li>
<li>et une réponse négative</li>
</ul>
<p>toujours dans le même ordre, et qu&#8217;il y a 12 boîtes comme ça sur la double page, toutes structurées (faites) de la même manière. Avec des jolies couleurs.</p>
<p>Dans ce cas n&#8217;aurait-il pas été plus simpe de mettre seulement le mot <strong>Recule</strong> tout seul ? Et <strong>Stagne</strong> ? il a pas besoin de parenthèses, celui-là ? <strong>Stagne</strong> ? Quessé ça veut dire, ça ? Heulsétu, moé, boudcrisse ? Y&#8217;a personne qui va compredre ça, des mots à 100 piasses de même.</p>
<p>Dans mon travail de design web, je suis très très très très souvent confronté à des clients qui sentent le besoin de tout expliquer pour le pauvre monde, parce qu&#8217;ils vont pas comprendre. Ils nivellent par le bas, non pas pour des raisons logiques ou argumentées, mais plutôt parce qu&#8217;ils ont l&#8217;impression, la conviction, que les visiteurs sont des idiots, qu&#8217;il faut les prendre par la main et leur donner tout cuit dans le bec. Tsé, l&#8217;internet, c&#8217;est compliqué ça.</p>
<p>Je constate cette attitude chez les gens qui viennent de la pub traditionnelle (principalement de la télé) où ils ont appris, je ne sais trop comment, que le retardé mental qui rote sa bière entre le souper et les nouvelles a le QI d&#8217;une pantoufle. Mais bizarrement, ces millions de retardés parviennent quand même à changer le fond de leur page MySpace et à envoyer cette page à un ami, même si on n&#8217;a pas le paragraphe de 200 mots qui explique qu&#8217;est-ce qui va arriver s&#8217;ils cliquent sur le câ&#8230; sur le bouton qui dit «Cliquez ici». Étrangement, s&#8217;ils sont motivés, les gens trouvent leur chemin tout seuls.</p>
<p>Je suis habitué à cette attitude méprisante et réductrice dans le monde du web. Mille fois j&#8217;y ai été confronté dans ma carrière. Je suis même parvenu parfois à la contourner, forcément, avec l&#8217;expérience. Mais pour la première fois de ma vie, je constate que cette attitude se répand hors du giron du multimédia&#8230; et qu&#8217;elle contamine les médias traditionnels.</p>
<p>En effet, y&#8217;a quelque chose qui recule.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>J&#8217;ai découvert ce merveilleux service en ligne pour faire des portfolios : <a href="http://www.slidez.net/" title="slidez.net" target="_blank">slidez.net</a></p>
<p>Full web 2.0, gratuit, linkable, XML, etc.</p>
<p>Alors j&#8217;y ai mis deux galeries publiques avec des dessins.</p>
<p><a href="http://utopsie.slidez.net/id/1536/cc3ec6514f1b142c39cbf4951d7c982d" title="Perdus dans l’espace" target="_blank"><img src="http://utopsie.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/perdusdanslespace_thumb.jpg" alt="Perdus dans l’espace" class="alignleft" /></a>La première, <a href="http://utopsie.slidez.net/id/1536/cc3ec6514f1b142c39cbf4951d7c982d" title="Perdus dans l’espace" target="_blank">Perdus dans l&#8217;espace</a>, est une série de dessins que j&#8217;ai fait pour des T-Shirts à édition extrêmement limitée (un exemplaire de chaque) que j&#8217;ai donnés comme cadeau de Noël cette année. Comme ces T-Shirts ne sortent pas souvent (odds are&#8230;) j&#8217;ai décidé de les mettre en ligne à la vue de tous, maudits chanceux.</p>
<p>-</p>
<p><a href="http://utopsie.slidez.net/id/1535/5c30acb6f8dd072975712b83e69ae825" title="Dessins" target="_blank"><img src="http://utopsie.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/slidez_thumb.jpg" alt="Dessins" class="alignleft" /></a>La deuxième, plus prosaïquement intitulée <a href="http://utopsie.slidez.net/id/1535/5c30acb6f8dd072975712b83e69ae825" title="Dessins" target="_blank">Dessins</a>, est une série un peu plus désordonnée. Elle contient plutôt un tas de dessins, que je devrais probablement mettre à jour de temps en temps. En attendant de leur trouver un nom plus approprié.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok là j&#8217;en ai ras-le bol.</p>
<p>Ras-le bol des communautés artificielles. Des messages viraux génétiquement modifiés.</p>
<p>Des sites de grosses compagnies qui s&#8217;achètent ce que même les stratèges les plus futés ne peuvent prévoir, encore moins créer sous vide : Une communauté, une appartenance. Un endroit où on peut se retrouver, échanger entre gens semblables. C&#8217;est qu&#8217;en ce moment, on dirait que toutes les boîtes de web du Québec ont passé l&#8217;hiver à monter des sites «de communauté» et ils les mettent tous en ligne en même temps. MasterCard, La Presse, CKOI, Séries+, quand est-ce que je vais pouvoir créer mon propre blogue sur Lebeau vitres d&#8217;auto? Échanger des photos de cornichons sur le site de Bick&#8217;s? Personne n&#8217;avait prévu que MySpace allait exploser comme ça l&#8217;a fait. Et maintenant, tout le monde essaie de réinventer LA MÊME CHOSE. Non, sérieux, vous espérez quoi, comme résultat?</p>
<p>Pourquoi on essaie de refaire YouTube, quand YouTube&#8230; EXISTE? Pourquoi est-ce que je voudrais me partir un blogue sur Canoë, quand WordPress et Blogger sont branchés sur le monde? Ces formules fonctionnent parce qu&#8217;elles nous relient au monde, à la blogosphère, aux internets&#8230; et surtout parce qu&#8217;elles ne sont pas contrôlées par deux gestionnaires de projet dans un bureau de la rue St-Laurent, qui s&#8217;occupent que leur client ne voie jamais le moindre petit mot de travers sur la communauté qu&#8217;il parraine&#8230;</p>
<p>Cette semaine, tous les site m&#8217;invitent à «changer ma mentalité», «changer mon envireonnement», «changer mon point de vue»&#8230; changer, comme tout le monde, quoi. Si tout le monde fait un 180˚, on se retrouve quand même à tous aller DANS LA MÊME DIRECTION. Full original, dude. Stay tuned pour la semaine prochaine.</p>
<p>Je veux bien croire que les gens (surtout les femmes ) recherchent un sentiment d&#8217;appartenance, sur le web (en fait, les annonceurs recherchent une manière de coller les femmes au web) et que les gars recherchent des pièces de char. Mais est-ce qu&#8217;on a tant besoin d&#8217;une communauté à chaque coin de rue? Ça rime à quoi tout ça?</p>
<p>C&#8217;est comme si tout le monde avait eu la même idée de déguisement d&#8217;halloween, et on se retrouve dans un party avec 150 Draculas. Surprise : vous n&#8217;avez aucune originalité. Et moi non plus.</p>
