Josh Clark – Beyond Mobile: Where No Geek Has Gone Before – BDConf, October 2013 from BDConf on Vimeo.
Everyday technology is hurtling into the realm of science fiction, even magic, with new devices that are as surprising and delightful as they are useful. Developers and designers are running hard to keep up with this warp-speed pace of tech innovation, and for now, mobile devices are at the forefront. But what’s next? Trends are emerging at the hazy edges of the tech universe that hint at the future of computer interfaces, including computers without interfaces at all.
Designer Josh Clark, author of “Tapworthy,” takes you on an expedition of this final frontier. Learn how smartphones and other sensor-rich devices have changed how we interact with media, with content, and with one another. And discover how we can push the limits of interface design by designing for sensors, not just for screens. Along the way, you’ll see how games lead the fleet, how robots can help us build our software, and why post-PC computing is about far more than phones and tablets. Finally, understand how a smart approach to technology choices now will better prepare you for the future, to boldly go where no geek has gone before.
Presented by Josh Clark at the October 2013 Beyond the Desktop Conference in Nashville, Tennessee.

See How “Beyond Mobile: Where No Geek Has Gone Before” is Translated into Real Work
Josh takes his philosophy on thinking beyond mobile (sensors, social, ecosystems, cloud, and inputs) seriously – and spent some good time translating it into real work with Entertainment Weekly’s responsive site this past year. Here is the official blog post of how he, along with other BDConf Orlando 2014 speakers (Brad Frost, Jonathan Stark, and others) did “Making of: Entertainment Weekly’s Responsive Mobile Site”

In 1996, he created the uberpopular “Couch-to-5K” (C25K) running program, which has helped millions of skeptical would-be exercisers take up jogging. (His motto is the same for fitness as it is for software user experience: no pain, no pain.)
