All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and us

As web professionals we’re used to hearing about the virtues of shipping fast and iterating regularly in order to meet changing needs, but how do we ensure that the projects that we’re planning now are still as relevant and robust when they launch in the future... and beyond? How do we prepare for the unknowns and constant shifts in technology; what can we do to progress the evolution of the web itself; and how do we, as individuals, ensure that our skills are as relevant as ever in this rapidly changing world? In this talk we’ll look at why the future is important, and past visions of the future, including those from the world of science fiction. We'll explore what we can learn from these lessons, and how to apply this in a practical sense to the work that we do.

- 1. ALL THESE MOMENTS WILL BE LOST IN TIME Sally Jenkinson ACE! Conference, Krakow, 25.09.2015 @sjenkinson | sally@recordssoundthesame.com The web, the future, and us
- 2. @sjenkinson Digital solutions architect & consultant Records Sound the Same Ltd Sally Jenkinson #ACEconf
- 10. @sjenkinson#ACEconf What challenges does the future bring?
- 12. What we plan now may not be relevant in the future @sjenkinson#ACEconf
- 14. Our users Our business Technology Wildcards Our project #ACEconf @sjenkinson
- 15. Disruption will only accelerate Our existing standards, workflows and infrastructure won’t hold up Proprietary solutions will dominate at first The standards process will be painfully slow. #ACEconf @sjenkinson
- 18. Our choices can become white elephants @sjenkinson#ACEconf
- 20. Keeping up vs getting ahead @sjenkinson#ACEconf
- 22. “We have to throw it out and start again!” #ACEconf @sjenkinson
- 23. “…be guaranteed to meet the business and customer needs for the next 5-10 years at least…” #ACEconf @sjenkinson
- 26. Keeping up as individuals @sjenkinson#ACEconf
- 28. @sjenkinson#ACEconf The future is hard!
- 33. “Short of figuring out real teleportation, which would of course be awesome (someone please do this), the only option for super fast travel is to build a tube over or under the ground that contains a special environment. ! This is where things get tricky.” teslamotors.com/blog/hyperloop
- 38. a work kit useful for parceling ideas into their atomic elements #ACEconf @sjenkinson
- 40. #ACEconf
- 41. “We’ve seen repeatedly that if an interface works for an audience, there’s something there that will work for users. ! Finding what that thing is and using it for inspiration in our own work is part of how we can use these speculative interfaces.” Make It So (scifiinterfaces.com)
- 45. 1. Better consider our users’ changing needs. 2. Identify opportunities. 3. Aid prioritisation. 4. Define what the product is and what it will be. 5. More robust decisions - understand limitations and benefits of choices. 6. React quickly/better to change by embracing evolution. 7. Make more exciting things and shape the future of the web! @sjenkinson#ACEconf

- 55. @sjenkinson#ACEconf A practical guide to the future
- 56. Discovery & planning Work content first Separate content from display to better cater for new outputs (visual or otherwise) Where screens are involved, remember to think from very small to very large Prioritise your requirements Create a backlog and strategic roadmap & make these visible Balance problems now & of the future Consider future usage patterns, interactions, and behaviour Embrace wider trends (remote teams etc) Learn from the past Don’t be bound by form Create a set of high level principles for the future @sjenkinson#ACEconf Make no assumptions about usage Stories and design thinking (workshops)
- 58. “A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam” Frederik Pohl @sjenkinson#ACEconf
- 59. Embrace web standards, semantics, open formats Progressive enhancement Create incrementally, release often Track & manage change Think atomically Allocate time to improve the past and the future Lifespan of project components Separation, modularity, loosely-coupled architectures and services Embrace automation Document decisions (not heavily, but ensure the past is captured for future learning) Prototype & test Doing @sjenkinson#ACEconf Responsive design Leave space for the future Draw a line - what do you support? Why?
- 60. Share your experiences Specs & upcoming technologies Measure, & use your data Better digital preservation Play more Take inspiration from the world (watch more sci- fi!) Evolving @sjenkinson#ACEconf Accept change. It doesn’t mean you failed Work to educate others, to facilitate improvements Fix problems that you can see, and those that might be Provide support (bleeding edge technology users often have it rough)
