is often the early bird
that makes the worm. ”
—Alan Perlis
3. When the winners lose their swagger ,you know
something has evened the playing field
· And with a change of 'how' comes the shift of payment;
· Inventor: A person who makes an ingenious
arrangement of wheels, levers and springs, and
believes it civilization.
· Who will pay for something that can be gotten for free?
· But for now it is important to explore where information
exists and what gives it meaning, thus separating good
information from bad information.
5. It would be easier to roll up the entire sky into a
small cloth than it would be to obtain true
happiness without knowing the self
· But such an assertion leads us to enter into a chicken
and egg debate.
· We should encourage further experimentation, artistic
research and theorization of these topics.
· I'll always want real and tangible, personalized value for
my attention or I'll go elsewhere [attention-shifting]
· Where we used to mine for information, now we pull it
up onto the screen.
6. “ Everybody gets so
much information all
day long that they lose
their common sense. ”
—Gertrude Stein
7. Believe only half of what you see and nothing of
what you hear.
· Computercentric advertising and ads will become
content, almost entirely.
· Techcrunch's Arrington talks about the end of crafted
content.
· Put that Content under the rock again!
· When nodes become redundant or useless, networks
tend to reconfigurate themselves, deleting some nodes,
and adding new ones.
8. In conclusion
· Brand long-tail podcasts
· Recontextualize value-added eyeballs
· Syndicate dot-com wikis
· and remember: It's not enough to know how to ride --
you must also know how to fall.
