15. Paper (n):
The full record that supports that claim
should be available for detailed
examination and critique
We were taught to share these discoveries by
publishing a paper or filing a patent after all
the work was done.

16. Corporate email communications
Green = Internal
Yellow = External
Meanwhile we
communicate
electronically ...

17. to networks
of people...

18. … not the objects
What if we,
curate the
conversation...

19. Is the openness of the next generation going to change the
scientific process by allowing computers to mine the “human
conversation”?

20. Scientific Method
Proving a hypothesis.
Knowledge Discovery
Finding the unknown correlations.

21. Sentiment Analysis for stock
market prediction
Brokerage houses are using computers to
“micro-trade” stocks based on sentiment
analysis of blog sphere.

Googledocs determined the
commonality of what I was
entering and automatically
completed the rest of the list.
GoogleDocs searched the web.
Next generation versions will be
able to tell you what correlations
exist between two seemingly
unrelated attributes
