"…a search engine, designed to help you find what you didn't even know you were looking for. If you search for "Plato", you might for example end up at the Canterbury Tales.

If you are looking for serendipity, you're on the right track. When was the last time you just stumbled onto something interesting, by the way?"

"…the most effective surveys are kept short, stay focused on one topic, and contain a mix of closed- and open-ended questions.

Although the digital article has been enhanced and improved with new technologies, it still works on the assumption that 'one size fits all'. BBC R&D is developing new story formats for news that are more effective than conventional video or article formats. I have written elsewhere about the current landscape of digital news. We think there might be better things."

While the users performed these tasks, we monitored their neurological responses to the experience using steady state topography."
