Comics, Time and KABOOM – Simplicity in a Complex Way or Wait… What?
October 4th, 2009 · Comments Off
Now I am not one who reads comics frequently (in fact, my comic reading doesn’t go much beyond the Sunday Comics of my home newspaper) but this one was interesting, not to mention the first comic I’ve read that is more than seven to thirteen panels.
But its not the comic that caught my attention, though [...]

Blog Blog Blog Blog Blog
October 4th, 2009 · Comments Off
A few days ago there was a rather interesting article (thanks to our librarian for deliciousing it!) about blogs… not just blogs, but who is using them, and not just who is using them but how they are using them. In fact, this article has given me new perceptions on what a blog is and its [...]

The Next “Wave” of Communication/Collaboration
September 30th, 2009 · Comments Off
So what is this next “wave” you may ask? Google’s next major project (besides their upcoming OS to be released next year). Google Wave.
Essentially, it is a collaboration/communications system, but what’s so great about that? Well… its all live, or “real-time” as they say. Similar to TJ’s delicious bookmark to EtherPad, who specifically compares their [...]

Thinking the Unthinkable
September 28th, 2009 · Comments Off
So how do you do it? How do you come up with something revolutionary? This is one of the questions that has plagued my mind since I began reading essays by these computer pioneers, internet pioneers, every aspect of our modern lives pioneers, and Personal Dynamic Media is no different. Yet again I am in [...]

But I Don’t Wanna Learn What You Have To Teach Me…
September 23rd, 2009 · Comments Off
So Nelson thought there was a problem with school conditions and what they do to the minds of the children they “teach.” How many people would agree? Is there a problem? Does traditional schooling limit the interests and exploration abilities of children? Personally I think the answer is a favorite of Dr. C, “Yes and [...]

On “Changing Human Intelligence…” Wait, that’s not the title, or is it?
September 17th, 2009 · Comments Off
Now its been a while since I’ve last posted, so I want to make this post particularly interesting, or at least insightful, or perhaps… never mind, I’m just going to post my thoughts, shall I begin?
I’d like to begin with a recap of what I absorbed from my last FYS class session, and I can [...]

On Man-Computer Symbiosis… Our Future, or Theirs?
September 10th, 2009 · Comments Off
Man-Computer Symbiosis. Is it just science fiction, or will it one day be possible for humans and machines to think together, to live as one entity, complement one another? Are we already there? Can computers think as we can? I think the answer is no, not yet they can’t, but at our exponential rate of [...]

Counterintuitivityness
September 4th, 2009 · Comments Off
Despite the sophomoric appearance of the title “Counterintuitivityness,” I do believe that it has some meaning to it, to draw attention to this much overlooked concept.
Counterintuitive: contrary to intuition or to common-sense expectation (but often nevertheless true).
That is the dictionary definition of the word, but I think the idea is to look beyond that, beyond [...]

More, More, More…
September 1st, 2009 · Comments Off
And yet again, I walked out of my New Media Studies class thoroughly satisfied and in anticipation at what more there was yet to be discussed, learned, and applied in classes to come. As I think back a week ago, I had no intention of ever becoming part of this amazing social world on the [...]
