They’re not.
When asked how much time a day they spend on the internet, youngsters say less hours than 5 years ago.
It just feels less - they don’t know they’re online anymore.
They’re not.
In a few years time, saying „I’m going on the internet” will sound as silly as saying „I’m going to electricity”.
The end of internet as a different ‚space’.
‣ away from ‚cyberspace’
‣ added to every object
‣ tightly integrated
‣ utility
Internet is moving away from the surface.
It is becoming invisible, plumbing.
The web beneath the skin of society.
‣ it has to become smaller
‣ it has to become more intuitive
‣ it has to become closer to humans
‣ it has to become better integrated
If internet is becoming invisible…
… internet communication has to change:
‣ wearables
‣ electronic tattoos
‣ patches
‣ ingestables
‣ implantables
1. Invasion of the body screens
If internet is becoming smaller and closer to our skin…
We have to adapt our communication.
Smaller. More personal and intimate. (Less big and loud mass communication.)
2. Glanceable UI
‣ make sure information is clear upon a glance
‣ smaller: fitting on a smaller screen
‣ faster: ‘mentally’ faster (understanbable)
‣ ‚bigger’: bigger fonts and icons
‣ visual
‣ glanceable = superlative degree of usable
‣ haptic?

‣ haptic interfaces
‣ tactile interfaces
‣ lead by mobile payments authentication: fingerprints, iris scan , biometrics
‣ enforced by ‚digital detox’ : avoid people getting out there mobile phone!
The Tactile InternetDurex Fundawear: haptic pants?

The Tactile Internet
‣ information units are getting smaller
‣ self-contained
‣ portable
‣ visual
Infographics, cards as UX, Super.me, Yo…
3. Atomisation
Cards based design: - start from the smallest information atom; - make it self-contained; - make it portable; - think about the multi-screen user.
‣ emoji’s as shorthand
‣ (even in White House reports!)
‣ the rise of the stickers
Information-density
Phatic expression.
One whose only function is to perform a social task, as opposed to convey information.
Digital communication is not just about information. Allow it to have a social function.
Add personality. Add emotion. Add connection.
‣ faster
‣ self-contained
‣ ‚gateway drug’
Avoid the battle for the home screen…
5. The notification is the interface
‣ automatic, no manual action required
‣ default everything
‣ based on privacy
‣ sharing = explicit manual decision
6. Explicit becomes implicit
‣ the battle for first swipe
‣ ambient intimacy
‣ P2P: phone2phone & mesh networks - payments! snapcash
‣ anticipatory computing: from re-targeting to pre-targeting
‣ in-house UX
‣ the back-end is the new front-end
‣ voice
‣ microsharing
‣ …
There’s even more!
