Cultural hegemony is a concept coined by Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci. It means that a diverse culture can be ruled or dominated by one class in part through common sense, that everyday practices and shared beliefs provide the foundation for complex systems of domination.

I used to feel a certain sci-fi “sense of wonder” about design;
design doesn’t lack for flashy theatrical histrionics — but
what I’ve really come to treasure about it is that sense of
*engagement.* Design isn’t science and it isn’t fiction,
but it’s is a way of knowledge and a method of action;
it’s a path into the poetry of things.

The history of mobile phones looks like this:

The future of mobile phones is perhaps… not a mobile phone at all, but rather a contextually aware and active mobile magic wand. It’s not about skins anymore. Not even about features, open source, multi-touch or iPhoney. It’s about who is going to make the device interact with your environment as well as capturing it in context. It’s a wand, I tell you. You know what, it’s going to talk with the clouds rather than with native applications. It might or might not link with the global brain.

But what I know for sure, it’s going to combine cloud computing, augmented reality and the internet of things in a meaningful way.
