However, the opportunities to witness one another, already tenuous in physical presence, do not smoothly transition into the new generation of technology-mediated interactions, be it person-to-person or person-to-system. ![]() Essential social processes are enabled and carried out over communication technologies fundamental social structures are changing. The technological aspect of modern socio-technical systems enables great flows of information, vastly extending human agency as well. And perhaps this is a timely intervention for modern civilisation. Wearables present therefore an incredible opportunity to re-invent how we connect to ourselves and the world around us. Data from the (social) Internet in combination with various deployments of ubiquitous computing such as the Internet of Things (IoT) together a promise of unprecedented intersection of the online and offline worlds, a new dimension rich with ambient information. Wearable electronics is a nascent sector of technology that is already generating a lot of excitement and speculation as a clear candidate for (yet another) disruptive innovation. ![]() Previous Bit Bang publications are available from http:/. The Bit Bang series of courses is supported by the Multi disciplinary Institute of Digitalisation and Energy (MIDE). This joint publication contains articles produced as teamwork assignments for the course, in which the students were encouraged to take novel and radical views on the future of the media industry. Working in teams, the students set out to answer questions related to the changing media industry and to brainstorm radical scenarios of what the future could hold. Digital convergence has changed the media value chain, and the Internet and social media have introduced new players to the game. The media industry is currently undergoing its biggest revolution since the invention of the printing press: digitalization is fundamentally changing the media landscape, and the distribution channels and revenue models of the print and broadcasting industries are being challenged. The course aimed at fostering teamwork and multidisciplinary collaboration, as well as providing the students with global perspectives and business foresight on the future of the media industry. This book is the 6th in the Bit Bang series of books produced as multidisciplinary teamwork exercises by doctoral students participating in the course Bit Bang 6: The Future of Media at Aalto University during the academic year 2013–2014. ![]()
