Making Apps More Connected |
 |
|
|
Now is really a new era with APIs and hosted infrastructure and there are two classes of developers emerging. Those who get this and those that are fighting it. What’s profound about the world is that computing is getting closer and closer to a person. Apps help us make sense of a complicated and expansive data world in highly contextualized and “bite sized” ways. The fascinating thing is that this “small data” trail about a person is scattered everywhere. It makes sense in the real world that our actions and thoughts and exchanges today inform our reality and thinking tomorrow. In the data world our digital selves are currently mediated by hundreds and increasing towards thousands of APIs that each think about us (as metadata) differently.
