Hello again! I haven't used this blog since the last Learning module, but I figured what better way to start a new project than with a blog that hasn't gotten much love since then? The video for the first week was a lot like the "Machine is Us/ing us" one from last year (which, interestingly, was recently featured in a talk given at the Main branch by local author Allen H. Kupetz for his new book The Future of Less, about the trend towards a paperless economy). It makes me wonder how many similar videos are being made around the world, attempting to catpure the intrinsic flow of the information age.
I'm excited to see what's new on the web, last year even my techie roommates were impressed by the sites we visited (especially the Yahoo Pipes activity, which was pretty difficult for them to believe I had done). The concept of Web 3.0 is not really a stretch to anyone who's a fan of modern science fiction, but I think that the worlds put forth by Cory Doctorow and Rudy Rucker maybe a while coming, yet. I just hope I'm still around in time to enjoy the benefits of such a permanently connected society!
