Slides from a lecture I gave in March, 2010 about new sources of information. I also showed the Photosynth TED Talk video and a segment from The Hungry Beast as part of this lecture.

4. The information (r)evolution David Weinberger, 2007 Information is not a “thing” that has to be in a “place”. It can be in many places, all at the same time. Ontology is overrated. Text your message to 0416906973 or visit http://tinyurl.com/nextlife107

7. The information (r)evolution Think about what they mean for the preservation of language, for preservation of text, for the ability of people to tell their stories. It's going to be phenomenal. Text your message to 0416906973 or visit http://tinyurl.com/nextlife107

8. The information (r)evolution? The “message” of this environment is that to learn is to acquire information, that information is scarce and hard to find (that’s why you have to come to this room to get it), that you should trust authority for good information, and that good information is beyond discussion (that’s why the chairs don’t move or turn toward one another). In short, it tells students to trust authority and follow along. Michael Wesch, 2009. Text your message to 0416906973 or visit http://tinyurl.com/nextlife107
