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.

Acknowledge and embrace unpredictability.

Think and behave in a future-friendly way.

Help others do the same.

start again!”

“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.”

“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.”

Using future thinking

Page 46: All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and us

1. Better consider our users’ changing needs.

2. Identify opportunities.

3. Aid prioritisation.

4. Define what something 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!

Future benefits

Half-life

@sjenkinson

Page 50: All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and us

User interfaces & interactions

Features

Digital platform components (CMS, etc)

‘Non-digital’ systems (accountancy, etc)

Browsers

Hosting environment & languages

Third party integrations

Deployment tools

Different elements have different half-lives

@sjenkinson

Page 51: All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and us

Choose technologies and architect your developments

with half-lives in mind

@sjenkinson

Page 52: All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and us

@sjenkinson

Separate concerns, loosely couple

Think in patterns, not pages

Modular CSS

Enhance!

@sjenkinson

A practical approach to the future

Page 56: All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and us

Start thinking about the future(s) in 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 futureMake no

assumptions about usage

Stories and design thinking

(workshops)

Page 57: All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and us

Example principles

“A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam”

@sjenkinson

Page 59: All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and us

Embrace web standards, semantics,

open formats

Progressive enhancement

Create incrementally, release often

Track & manage change

Think atomically, and with patterns, not

pages

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

Design and build with change as a given

Responsive design

Leave space for the future

Draw a line - what do you support? Why?

@sjenkinson

Page 60: All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and us

Share your experiences

Specs & upcoming

technologies

Measure, & use your data

Better digital preservation

Play moreTake inspiration from the world

(watch more sci-fi!)

Continuing your evolution

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)

Thank you!

My slides are mainly blue because according to Make It So, blue is ‘futuristic’ - it’s the most prevalent colour in sci-fi interfaces!
