    You’re absolutely right that we need better ways of determining context. This falls in line with the “Unknown Vessel: Identify”:http://futurefriend.ly/thinking.html#unknown-vessel section of Future Friendly thinking.

    There’s definitely been talk about using the server to serve up more contextually-aware experiences:
    “Adaptation: Why responsive design actually begins on the server”:http://www.slideshare.net/yiibu/adaptation-why-responsive-design-actually-begins-on-the-server,
    RESS, Server-Side Feature-Detection and the Evolution of Responsive Web Design”:http://www.dmolsen.com/mobile-in-higher-ed/2012/02/21/ress-and-the-evolution-of-responsive-web-design/
    RESS: Responsive Design + Server Side Components”:http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1392

    It’s becoming more of an issue, especially with things like the new iPad screen. As Jason Grigsby recently pointed out, Apple.com will unfortunately “serve up multiple images”:http://cloudfour.com/how-apple-com-will-serve-retina-images-to-new-ipads/ to users, mostly because there’s no way for the server to know that the device has a hi-res screen right out of the gate.

    In order for us to deal with this huge amount of diversity, we need to be able to fire on all cylinders. I think we’ve got a long way to go to get to what you’re describing, but at the same time we need to keep pushing to make more sense of it all.

    Any CMS recommendations that offer clean content storing?

    This is a really good question, and I wish I had a short list of well-defined solutions to give you. I think that ultimately it comes down to using the tools in the right way and considering the right things when implementing a CMS.

    Keep your eyes on karenmcgrane, lyzadanger, and @jensimmons as they talk a lot about CMSes as they relate to future friendly thinking. In the meantime, I’ll see what I can do to find out more resources and insight.

Indeed relevant data is the key….Google is going even forward to the future creating the new Google Glasses with 3d holographic hud that will make your ads full targeted and 24/7….facebook is also on the same road…you can find info about “φαψεβοοκ”:http://www.xn—mxacivya8br.net here
