- When Gary Flake disclosed getpivot - he said it will allow us to navigate the web for the first time as if it’s really a web. Zoom out & zoom in iterations & sortings help us make more sense of more info - the whole of data being bigger than the sum of the parts. Tech can provide us visibility in a info maxed and nonlinear world. Gary suggests that this visibility is a new way to ... seek wisdom.
- Ethan Zuckerman says that interesting problems are global in scale and scope, they require global conversations, not imaginary cosmopolitanism, ... to get to global solutions.
- Clay Shirky’s says that our social design challenge
is not possible w/o digital tech and
human generosity.
He terms this new design resource...
...the ability of the world’s population to volunteer and to contribute and collaborate on large and sometimes global projects.
Getpivot navigation about communities can/will reform ed
i'm not talking the tech in particular - i'm talking the idea behind getpivot... google on steroids.. kind og.
say we collect a massive amount of info.. when we're logging what/how/why people notice, imagine, connect, do... it has to be useable. how do you access what you need from massive amounts of info..
i'm a teacher (but now we're all students) wanting to study specifically how people notice quad formula, - i collect only that data.
i'm a student wanting to study how to connect to people per my passion of fly fishing or musical composition..
