Of course, my favorite ‘future learning technology’ novel is Neal Stephenson’s “The Diamond Age”, a must-read for learning technologists. But I’ll have to check out Manna!

I think Marshall Brain had some interesting ideas. As you probably know, Marshall Brain is the creator of the popular "How Stuff Works" website. He also wrote a novel called Manna. I don't think it's much as far as literature goes but it sets out some very interesting ideas as far as the future goes. The takeaway for me was a system that could interact and guide. I am working on a system like this called "Bob".

Hi Clark, I think you're absolutely right when you say that we shouldn't think about formal learning when discussing mLearning. It took me a while to understand this; I was wrapped up in the course model, and I just couldn't see how courses could be delivered using mobile devices. I finally made the connection one day when I was out shopping with my wife. I was waiting for her and I started surfing the web on my PDA. I set up an RSS reader and I was able to spend some quality time reading through my favorite eLearning, training, design, and development resources while waiting. It was time well spent - and I finally understood mLearning. I see the possibilities now... I wrote about my mLearning experience on eLearning Weekly (You can read it here.)
