“The information
revolution is useless if it
is to add information to
information and time to
the already mismanaged
time.”
Joël de Rosnay
Docteur ès Sciences
President of Biotics International
Special Advisor to the President of Universcience
Interview of Joël de Rosnay and Paul Virilio on radio
channel France Culture, on December 4th 1995

Observation
For years, methods of information
diffusion have evolved following two
axis:
Seek of complementarity
Seek of instantaneousness
Media convergence
Internet is now recognized as the primary media
in the field of tourism.
TV
Radio
Press Internet Mobile
Billboard
Internet
Mobile First
Situation
Digital is now nomad !
The smartphone is its
representative !
Situation
95% of Swiss have a smartphone
36 apps on average on a
smartphone (downtrend)
-
Only 9 apps are frequently used!
Objective
Being the indispensable companion during
their stay.
Being the relevant companion before and
after their stay.
Give yourself the opportunity to be in the
top 5 applications during their stay.
TODAY
Analysis of current situation and developments:
- Apps come to the user (notifications, widgets...)
- The positions taken by the key players also
tend to confirm this trend (Apple, Facebook,
Google ...)
- The nomadic social also becomes inevitable,
Facebook and Twitter are not alone (Instagram,
Linkedin, Pinterest ...)
- ...
