Museum 2.0

DECEMBER 3, 2019

I was thinking I’d do a few alternative histories of museums for the first post of the last month of the decade. As I imagined a world without the many museum tech projects of the decade, I felt inherently sad about the imagining away the successes that friends and colleagues have enjoying. But I couldn’t get there.

And while the bulk of nonprofits put most of their resources into Facebook ( whether Facebook is perfect or not ), there are many nonprofits effectively using Twitter and leveraging the platform for social good as well as their staff and leaders.

Check out this inane AT&T commercial about a woman whose absorption in her smartphone is so great that Facebook updates become substantiated as pieces of art in the museum through which she strolls. It also suggests that for young people, masterpieces in museums are not nearly as interesting as a good friend''s new haircut.

Museums and nonprofits can also reap huge benefits from employing artificial intelligence, particularly in their membership and development departments.

Facebook shifted its design to focus on photo and video-sharing in response to data showing that this content is shared way more frequently than text and links. I use an RSS reader to aggregate articles to read, a bookmarking tool (pinboard) to save links of interest, and conversational tools (Twitter and Facebook) to share.
