Aside from the big news that AOL would acquire TechCrunch during their latest disrupt conference, there was another major piece of news that many of you guys I’m sure would be interested in knowing. Quite simply it can only be described as the future of information technology as we know it. Meet Qwiki, the first step towards technology that could revolutionise the way we look at information on the internet.
Internet users at the moment have a number of tools at their disposal ranging from a simple Google search to a perhaps little bit more in depth Wikipedia article summarising the search term in question. However the internet has evolved in such a way that it’s become so loaded with information that as normal human beings we simply do not have the mental capacity or the ability to process and take in all this information. It simply becomes an information overload.
In steps Qwiki, a technology that aims to transform experiencing information from a chore into an experience. Doug Imbruce, one of the co-founders and CEOs of Qwiki, describes it as transforming information into an art form. Check out their demo video at the TechCrunch Disrupt Conference below.
