The Ambient Economy

2280464563_eab204ae38Access to information is addictive. The moment we have more of it - and more of it available at opportune times - the more we crave. I learned this first-hand when I began wearing a Pebble smartwatch in earnest. While I've long rejected the idea that a smartwatch is a valuable addition to the infonaut's arsenal, I now realize that being able to see, at a glance, who is calling, texting, or emailing is something that changes nearly everything. We are entering an era of ambient information, an era that engulfs us in snippets of data culled from the riot of information around us. And this era, as evidenced by the advent of Google Glass and "hands-free" user experiences on phones, is fast approaching the commonplace.
