Ambient Commons
by Malcolm McculloughThe world is filling with ever more kinds of media, in ever more contexts andformats. Glowing rectangles have become part of the scene; screens, large and small, appeareverywhere. Physical locations are increasingly tagged and digitally augmented. Sensors, processors,and memory are not found only in chic smart phones but also built into everyday objects. Amid thisflood, your attention practices matter more than ever. You might not be able to tune this world out. So it is worth remembering that underneath all these augmentations and data flows, fixed formspersist, and that to notice them can improve other sensibilities. In AmbientCommons, Malcolm McCullough explores the workings of attention though a rediscovery ofsurroundings. Not all that informs has been written and sent; not all attention involves deliberatethought. The intrinsic structure of space -- the layout of a studio, for example, or a plaza --becomes part of any mental engagement with it. McCullough describes what he calls the Ambient: anincreasing tendency to perceive information superabundance whole, where individual signals matterless and at least some mediation assumes inhabitable form. He explores how the fixed forms ofarchitecture and the city play a cognitive role in the flow of ambient information. As apersistently inhabited world, can the Ambient be understood as a shared cultural resource, to besocially curated, voluntarily limited, and self-governed as if a commons? AmbientCommons invites you to look past current obsessions with smart phones to rethink attentionitself, to care for more situated, often inescapable forms of information.

Ambient Findability: What We Find Changes Who We Become
by Peter MorvilleHow do you find your way in an age of information overload? How can you filter streams of complex information to pull out only what you want? Why does it matter how information is structured when Google seems to magically bring up the right answer to your questions? What does it mean to be "findable" in this day and age? This eye-opening new book examines the convergence of information and connectivity. Written by Peter Morville, author of the groundbreaking Information Architecture for the World Wide Web, the book defines our current age as a state of unlimited findability. In other words, anyone can find anything at any time. Complete navigability.Morville discusses the Internet, GIS, and other network technologies that are coming together to make unlimited findability possible. He explores how the melding of these innovations impacts society, since Web access is now a standard requirement for successful people and businesses. But before he does that, Morville looks back at the history of wayfinding and human evolution, suggesting that our fear of being lost has driven us to create maps, charts, and now, the mobile Internet.The book's central thesis is that information literacy, information architecture, and usability are all critical components of this new world order. Hand in hand with that is the contention that only by planning and designing the best possible software, devices, and Internet, will we be able to maintain this connectivity in the future. Morville's book is highlighted with full color illustrations and rich examples that bring his prose to life.Ambient Findability doesn't preach or pretend to know all the answers. Instead, it presents research, stories, and examples in support of its novel ideas. Are we truly at a critical point in our evolution where the quality of our digital networks will dictate how we behave as a species? Is findability indeed the primary key to a successful global marketplace in the 21st century and beyond. Peter Morville takes you on a thought-provoking tour of these memes and more -- ideas that will not only fascinate but will stir your creativity in practical ways that you can apply to your work immediately."A lively, enjoyable and informative tour of a topic that's only going to become more important."--David Weinberger, Author, Small Pieces Loosely Joined and The Cluetrain Manifesto"I envy the young scholar who finds this inventive book, by whatever strange means are necessary. The future isn't just unwritten--it's unsearched."--Bruce Sterling, Writer, Futurist, and Co-Founder, The Electronic Frontier Foundation"Search engine marketing is the hottest thing in Internet business, and deservedly so. Ambient Findability puts SEM into a broader context and provides deeper insights into human behavior. This book will help you grow your online business in a world where being found is not at all certain."--Jakob Nielsen, Ph.D., Author, Designing Web Usability: The Practice of Simplicity"Information that's hard to find will remain information that's hardly found--from one of the fathers of the discipline of information architecture, and one of its most experienced practitioners, come penetrating observations on why findability is elusive and how the act of seeking changes us."--Steve Papa, Founder and Chairman, Endeca"Whether it's a fact or a figure, a person or a place, Peter Morville knows how to make it findable. Morville explores the possibilities of a world where everything can always be found--and the challenges in getting there--in this wide-ranging, thought-provoking book."--Jesse James Garrett, Author, The Elements of User Experience"It is easy to assume that current searching of the World Wide Web is the last word in finding and using information. Peter Morville shows us that search engines are just the beginning. Skillfully weaving together information science research with his own extensive experie
