It all began with the “lifestream,” a phenomenon that I predicted in the 1990s and shared in the pages of Wired almost exactly 16 years ago.

How should we arrange all the stuff on the internet? Conventional solution: use links to form a web. Users follow links from one information-object to related ones. Unconventional alternative: use narrative streams (individually, “lifestreams”; blended together, the “worldstream”). Users follow time-ordered sequences from one info-object to the next, and these streams flow: their tails lengthen constantly as new information arrives. Which suggests an unconventional GUI, using virtual 3D: objects flow towards you out of the future and away from you into the past. We’ve actually *built* a first draft of this future: prototype software that makes the vision concrete. Go to lifestreams.com to request an invite. There, you’ll see a narrative stream made of only five sources (Twitter, Facebook, mail, RSS, memos). Eventually there will be billions of sources: probably 100 or so right on your control panel that track people, institutions, blogs, photo-streams, businesses. Put these billions of streams together and you get the worldstream.
It’s wonderful that computing today is full of non-academics; wonderful that my piece on Wired has more influence than any journal article I might write. But no matter who or where you are, the same powerful processes drive this field: We see big visions, then use existing technology to build software that takes little steps forward. I’ve made correct predictions in my time (the cloud, Carriero and Gelernter ’85; the web etc., Mirror Worlds, ’91; blogs, chat-streams, and others, “Lifestreams: Bigger than Elvis,” 1995) — and so I can tell you that being right is worth exactly $0.0. But it moves the field forward; and it’s fun!

As a writer, I find this set of predictions both interesting and, well, less than overwhelming. I'd like to see more creativity, especially with regard to the "least likely" possibilities, and less focus on tech companies. I'm more interested in thinking about what life might be like, than in which social media giant is on top. What predictions do you have, and what do you think are the odds for or against?

Web 2.0 is alive, long live web 3.0! III It's true things run faster than the speed of light and it is a mistake to try ad impement every new craze in our teaching as this will steer our lessons out of track., Keeping up with new technologies is essential of course and a good way to tell fad from helpful tools and teaching trends is to stay informed and be effectively connected with as extensive a s possible PLN of like-minded educators.
