Rich digital environment

"A computer is a wonderful thing, but it is cold, and what comes out of it, is cold too." - Della Femina

We are entering the age of the "Learning Society" – enabled by a rich, digital environment, characterized by advances in social networking. - Summary of NML conference – Brussels 2009

The digital environment in a regular computer is mainly graphical and static. The experiences are often focused on the visual aspect. Other senses are barely addressed. Some applications have integrated sounds and music, but usually those are not necessarily functional or do not give any value. Websites are still very static. Whether you check one today or tomorrow, from your home or at work, a website looks generally the same. Computer games, however, already adapt to the user. Depending on prior experience, personality,... the game environment adjusts automatically. Other digital environments should become progressive and dynamic as well.
