We have no future because our present is too volatile.
We have only risk management. The spinning of the given moment’s scenarios.

A new era – ambient and embedded
Adapted from: Gartner Inc. 2003
![Page 26: Observations on: The 2003 OCLC Environmental Scan: Pattern Recognition](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062305/56815df5550346895dcc2cd1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ambient and embedded• In an electronically nomadicised
world I have become a two-legged terminal, an ambulatory IP address, maybe even a wireless router in an ad hoc mobile network.
• Those who just want a simpler life may choose to unplug, and to live off the grid in Idaho. But for this particular early 21st Century nodular subject, disconnection would be amputation. I am part of the networks and the networks are part of me. … I am visible to Google. I link therefore I am.

Hype or Hope?“How close are we to the Semantic Web that Tim Berners-Lee describes? Yes, and my American garage door talks to my Belgian toaster, and they agree I am hungry. Great idea. I think it will take a long time to realize, and that we will go through several generation of enabling technologies before we find ones that are suitable to actually get the job done.”—Herbert Van de Sompel

Interviews“Libraries should reallocate positions to newer kinds of jobs: digital scholarship, open source projects, etc.”
“Librarians cannot change user behavior and so need to meet the user.”

Interviews“Paper content is being moved off-site to make room for things like cafes and information commons, but what stays and what goes? We do not have good tools for these decisions.”
“The idea of the balanced—but unread—collection is disappearing.”
