The technology underpinning the Internet and the Web will continue to evolve rapidly. An ever increasing range and quantity of mobile devices will be connected to each other and to an expanding infrastructure. This will lead to a more nomadic style of living and working and a very diverse range of digital content. We will become both authors and readers of multimedia - from images to movies to soundscapes - and participants in experiences which combine the physical and virtual worlds. The construction of the devices and their supporting infrastructure poses new challenges in technology and interface design - and in the organisation, management and use of huge quantities of information flowing between billions of devices. But the greatest challenges are in education and learning: how can we enable people to discover and exploit the full potential of these new technologies?
