What’s On TAP? – Strategies for keeping pace with rapid changes in mobile technology

Charles Moad and Rob Stein, Indianapolis Museum of Art, United States

Abstract

In 2011, the New York Times published an article that reinforces what many museums are feeling as they scramble to keep pace with changes in technology. Entitled, “Software Progress Beats Moore’s Law”, the article cites a White House advisory report detailing the changes in hardware and software innovation in the past 15 years. The report notes that while the rate of change in hardware innovation is staggering, changes in software have vastly outpace even those impressive numbers.
