tagging, lists of friends, forums and
messaging.

5. Social Media: Society & Citizenship

7. ~The Conversation ~
blogging, commenting or contributing - the currency of social networking.

8. We get comfortable in our world…
then something comes along and
absolutely disrupts it.
The Iceman thought his world would never change –
until the refrigerator replaced him.

9. charlesdyer's photostream

10. It is difficult to predict the future
and we generally get
uncomfortable with change.

11. Over the ages, Many People have
Feared New Technology

12. “The free access which many young people
have…has poisoned the mind and corrupted
the morals of many a promising youth.”
Reverend Enos Hitchcock, Memoirs of the Bloomsgrove Family, 1790
He was writing about…..readily accessible novels!

14. “This new form of entertainment has gone
far to blast maidenhood………
Depraved adults with candies and pennies
beguile children with the inevitable result”
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, 1909
The Movie Theater

15. “Does it break up the home
life and the old practice of
visiting friends?”
The Knights of Columbus…1933
The Telephone

16. Each new technological advance
was viewed with suspicion and
distrust by many.

17. And now…texting
The demise of the phone call.

18. There is good reason.

29. “Why the Internet Will Fail”
"No online database will
replace your daily
newspaper, no CD-ROM
can take the place of a
competent teacher and no
computer network will
change the way
government works.“
Clifford Stoll, Newsweek, Feb 27, 1995

32. But the old way has problems….
1. Too many websites to visit http://www.stumbleupon.com/
2. Difficult to organize emails and attachments
3. Only companies and organizations have a “voice.”
Now WEB 2.0 offers the ability to talk
outside the usual channels
1. Personal Publishing (blogs)
2. Easy to create and edit websites (wikis)
3. Publish and share photos, video (Flickr, YouTube)
4. Lots of ways to share and collaborate

35. “Today's phones are almost like people," in that they have senses such
as eyes (a camera), ears (a microphone) and skin (a touch screen).
Google VP – Marrisa Mayer
• She heralds the "a sensor revolution," including data
Vibration…..Tilt…..Rotation…..
Navigation…Sound....Airflow.…
Light…
Temperature....Biological….Chem

36. The Curated Experience,
Convergent Devices & Net Neutrality
• http://counternotions.com/2010/05/17/curation/
How convergent devices overthrew civilization!

38. “Perhaps the most pernicious proposition
of the “everything must be open” crusade
is the notion that curation is bad and anti-
freedom. Soldiers of this crusade confuse
freedom with competition. Our museums
are not football-field sized warehouses
where art objects are indiscriminately
dumped and our magazines and blogs are
not amorphous containers of randomly
selected articles. Our classrooms,
restaurants, hospitals and indeed all our
civilized institutions are firmly reliant on
curation of one kind or another. The goal
should be for curators to compete, not for
curation to be declared illegal and unholy
by the “open” zealots.” ~ Kontra

39. Who’s behind the curtain?
“Just as Adobe is desperately trying to yell at the world, “Don’t
buy into Apple’s walled garden, get locked into our own
proprietary Flash,” so is Google trying to misdirect consumers’
attention from its own monopolistic sins to Apple’s mobile
platform where 100 million users voted with their own money
to enjoy 200,000 apps. The evil man behind the curtain in this
scenario is not Apple’s curation, it’s the frightening prospect
of Google getting cut off from search and ad revenue derived
from its naked domination of the search box on top of your
web browser. That, unfortunately, doesn’t sound like an
appealing public cry, hence the “Curated Computing”
misdirection whining.”

40. Why it matters!
Most of today’s educational content comes in textbooks, which
Bryan Polivka likens to CDs in “Why the iPad really could change
everything.” http://www.newsweek.com/2010/03/25/think-really-different.html
He asks us to wonder about the textbook “single” and imagines
a future in which we can create a learning “playlist” for a course
that mixes tracks from Macmillan, Pearson and others. The
future suggests that it won’t stop there and digital “papers” and
assignments will be elaborations (riffs?) on those textbook
singles and the best ones will be added to the library from
which future students construct their playlists.

from an
information age
to an
OPINION AGE .”
Warren Sack, Associate Professor, Film & Digital Media School, University of California,
Santa Cruz

Transparency and authenticity are not emotions.”

intergenerational struggle over authority and
control over learning and literacy.”

56. “ Peer-based learning relies on a context of reciprocity, in which
kids feel they have a stake in self-expression as well as a stake
in evaluating and giving feedback to one another.”
