Information R/evolution

Back


This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. This video was created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively.

i like it, but not as much as the others---perhaps you should try saying what you have to say w/o the special effects. I wonder is links and tags will be enough to organize a global information base. The w3c is dealing w such issues in various XML-related standards. I honestly don't know where tagging fits into their work---but I agree that it is more than a phenomenon. Folksonomy is one major factor allowing this rapidly-growing information base to be self-organizing.

Great video. I like how a lot of different ways were used to express the largeness of the Internet.

I find it a bit disturbing, however, that some of the most recent comments are about religion when this video specifically discusses the information revolution.

"You Will Regret This When You're Burning In Hell"... do you know how dumb that sounds? think about this, "if god can do anything, can he make a stone so heavy that he himself can't lift it?" you need too be open to all posibility's and not just be stuborn about one thing, you probably grew up in a christian familly and haven't found religion for yourself, because alot of the time people who have aren't so closed minded...
