Subject: [NGC4LIB] The Return of Cards?
With the rise of mobile computing and the smaller screen sizes, even including tiny screens such as Google Glass, the current direction in information design is to present the information as a card. Here is an article about it, where they discuss several advantages of cards, "Why cards are the future of the Web"
http://insideintercom.io/why-cards-are-the-future-of-the-web/. The author writes: "This [i.e. the multiple shapes and sizes of screens] is driving the web away from many pages of content linked together, towards individual pieces of content aggregated together into one experience" and the author shows how Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, Spotify and other sites are moving to card displays.
