Description
The concept of findability has become increasingly important in today's digital age. This book explores how information and connectivity are converging to create a world where anyone can access anything at any time. Author Peter Morville examines the history of wayfinding and human evolution, suggesting that our fear of being lost has driven us to create maps, charts, and now, the mobile Internet. He argues that information literacy, information architecture, and usability are critical components of this new world order. With full color illustrations and rich examples, Ambient Findability presents research, stories, and examples in support of its novel ideas, without pretending to know all the answers.
