Do you think many teachers and skills trainers can’t keep up with the ever expanding possibilities offered by new technology and new media? What’s the solution?

I think the first thing is to challenge the idea that single writers are necessarily the central plank of any creative team in interactive media. The storyteller – or experience architect – is at the heart of the process, but my view is that the lonely single creator isn’t now – and possibly never was – the state of the art. Collaboration is central to this kind of creativity. Does background matter? I don’t think either “side” has it sown up – better to be a person with interesting things to say – or more accurately, interesting questions to ask - and a perspective which takes in interactivity than the best game designer or screenplay writer, I think.

As one of the UK's leading experts on interactive media, do you have any worries about the cultural impact of crowd-sourcing and user generated content?

Show more »Crowd-sourcing and user-generated (I prefer the term “homemade”) content take up a lot of my thinking time. I’m reading Cass Sunstein’s book on the impact of the web on democracy and it has lots to say about how our societies need to come to terms with the shifting balance between mass and social media. Big media companies need to change their way of looking at the world to combine their skills with the conversation which takes up most of the web. I read “The Cult of the Amateur” over the summer – which I recommend as a way of testing your own assumptions about where things are going – but I don’t think the reduction in the power of elites which it describes is either as big or as important as the author makes out. Then again, I don’t subscribe to the post-modern position that the act of communicating gives equal value to everything that is said. That point of view just isn’t borne out by my day to day experience of how ideas impact on and stick in the culture. Show less »
Which sci-fi film or series do you think most credibly forecasts the role of media in the future?

Sci-fi film – brilliant question. I find the street scenes in Minority Report eerily predictive and pretty horrible – although I like the personal newspaper on the underground.

Show more »I think that some aspects of media literacy could be taught formally but I am more inclined to encourage peer to peer sharing of experiences and stories which pass on skills and experience. I certainly don’t believe that adding media literacy to the curriculum will solve the many and varied issues with which new technology faces us – for two reasons, firstly, the challenges are often more to those outside formal education than within it and secondly, the development of so-called “soft skills” like this is notoriously tricky to achieve using traditional approaches to the curriculum. That said, I believe educators, parents and others need help in this area. Show less »
Plasma/LCD TV screens are getting bigger and more affordable – why should we get excited about viewing things on a 3 inch screen?

Only if it’s the least worst option – as Ashley Highfield says, the screen on the back of the seat in front of you on the plane isn’t as good as a cinema, but it beats 12 hours looking out of the wind...
