Luke Wroblewski: Mobile to the Future

This event has passed

We hosted Luke Wroblewski, one of the co-founders of IxDA, at NITH. Wroblewski had co-founded Bagcheck, acquired by Twitter, been an entrepreneur-in-residence at Benchmark Capital and Chief Design Architect at Yahoo!, and written the books Mobile First, Web Form Design and Site-Seeing.

His talk, "Mobile to the Future", started from the observation that new media tend to borrow conventions from older ones: television from radio, the web from print, and mobile from the desktop web. He argued that each medium needs its own thinking to reach its potential.

Working through several common web interactions, he showed how desktop solutions could be adapted for mobile, and how designing for mobile could change what is possible across all devices. The meetup was sponsored by FINN.no.
