country of contrasts - UK
re-invent self / new ideas / new directions

//

world of speedy creation
cross boundaries
websites
internet/media
try other media

work reliant on being connected

tangible/physical vs intangible/virtual

has it already been done?

few websites last for about 10 years or longer, (legacy/long lasting or ephemeral)

history - determinism/unexpected

post-modern - not always controlled

'Digital Reliance' - when/if the power is switched off
Antique Computers

work - being empowered by counter intuitive (ie.Sending a letter from a technology company)
samsung - limiting world view?
creative cluster - move faster
alone/together - social network

[supportive network - drives employment]
- manifesto
'futurists'

WEB
LANGUAGE TEACHING
INTERACTIVE DESIGN
3D
