The Smithsonian's design museum just got some high-tech upgrades
Technology isn’t just about the device you’re reading this on, it’s also fundamentally changing the places we go and the experiences we encounter. For example, Disney has a new program that lets you set restaurant preferences and pick your favorite rides before you even get to its parks, and uses an RFID wristband when you’re there so that the park employees know who you are and what you like. It also logs the things you do so you can look back on the experience after. Last month, we saw how Nike’s Jordan brand was using a similar technology at a pop-up shop during the NBA’s All-Star weekend. Cultural institutions are now getting in on this game, too, and one in particular is changing what it means to be a museum.
