Future of Museums

Lots of third spaces in the making here. Look at all the California finalists!

Forget Google glass, I want one of these.

Businesses-as-schools has the potential to (further) disrupt the higher education and adult learning market. As companies edge into a role as teacher, how will they balance their own interests and the social goals of mass education?

Probably not the last Google Glass sparked fight

We have been talking about TrendeWatch 2013 trend "disconnecting to reconnect" and here is a great example of a company capitalizing on this trend.  Great video.  Could this be welcome in galleries or some public programs?

A new program prints folded shapes to achieve large finished products that move like fabric

Volunteering seems to be alive and well across the generational boards.

Interesting take on the Gen X vs. Millennial generation gap-if it's really a gap, that is.

Wow, this is scary, but not incomprehensible....

An interesting thought piece on the issues around third places.  What is the etiquette of using a third place, particularly when it is a place of business? Lingering vs. loitering?

This is an amazing - yet logical - concept. Great example of "experience design."  How could museums be a part of this village? 

Issues of public etiquette using google glass...do museums have "rules" yet?

Is anyone familiar with this site?

Very interesting commentary on the rise of wearable technology. How do we balance their (potential) use as assistive devices and our privacy rights?

Interesting thought piece as we get ready for CAM and the 3rd Spaces session.  Are museums more like the library as 3rd space or the one described at the end of the article?
