 Hence, professors should keep to themselves at all times for fear of what might transpire with their academic careers, unless, of course, they support the governing party and its policies wholeheartedly.
The government aims to minimise public opposition by limiting what happens on university campuses.

I'm struggling with the notion that gamification of education is a good thing.  Why gamify when the world is interesting enough on its own?

The Internet took off because common protocols let everything network. Not so our data. Everything is siloed, isolated.

http://www.citylab.com/work/2012/10/communities-arent-places-theyre-social-networks/3492/

Communities aren’t disappearing, but to find them we need to stop looking in places, and start looking in social networks.

At an individual level, the street network directly shapes how we experience cities and can give different cities their distinctively different characters. Phoenix’s strictly regular street grid makes it hard to get lost, but also hard to distinguish one part of the city from the next. The organically meandering alleys of Venice almost guarantee one will get Being influential is usually viewed as a characteristic of an individual, for example, as when we say that the mayor is influential. But, thinking about influence as an individual characteristic misses how influence actually works.
Much like the tango, it takes two to be influential. Because influence can only occur between a person exercising influence and a person being influenced, saying that the mayor is influential isn’t enough; we must say influential over whom. Thinking about influence as a kind of relationship, rather than as personal characteristic, highlights that nearly everyone is influential over someone. So, yes, influential people matter a great deal in the connected city, but there are a lot of them.
The city is steered not by the actions of a single influential person or group, but by the circulation of influence through many people.
, but also facilitate the formation of little neighborhoods centered around tiny campos.
At a social level, the street network also shapes who we’re likely to run into, and thus who we’re likely to befriend. Two houses may be very close to one another. But if they’re separated by a busy highway, or are located on separate gated cul–de–sacs, it’s unlikely their occupants will ever see one another. When it comes to making friends, the physical distance between houses is less important than the walkable distance, which ultimately is a function of street network structure.



imagine if this (and most experiments) weren't part of a competition.
imagine if we shared more insight.

Most of what we do doesn't fall into a specific discipline of learning. We need to be more antidisciplinary. @joi #BbWorld14
