Thanks for sharing this, Dr. Burton. Do you think it's because internet technologies are mainly looked at as entertainment sources and not utilized as educational, academic, and research empowering tools? Is there something about the facility of information that hampers one's creativity, kind of like the cat and mouse game of dating that heightens one's mojo? Or could it possibly just be the result of a nation that has become exhausted with the competitive level necessary to transform this into what it may become? Or finally, do you think it's just a matter of time like the economic historian, Paul David said? - <small><a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/user/seanrwatson" title="View Sean Watson's content in group">Sean Watson</a></small></li><li>I do think it is a matter of time. People fall into ruts, even with revolutionary technologies. But enough is happening to keep this sphere innovating on the large scale even if it appears same-old in the short term. Nice to hear from you, Sean. - <small><a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/user/gideonburton" title="View Gideon Burton's content in group">Gideon Burton</a></small></li></ul></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/future">future</a>, <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/shock">shock</a>, <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/wired">wired</a></p><p><strong>by:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/user/gideonburton" title="View Gideon Burton's content in group">Gideon Burton</a></p> Tue, 22 May 2012 21:47:31 -0000 http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/egov/digital-government/digital-government-strategy.pdf <p><strong>Comments:</strong><ul><li>The government's plan (as of May 2012) for government-as-platform via digital tools.  - <small><a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/user/gideonburton" title="View Gideon Burton's content in group">Gideon Burton</a></small></li></ul></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/whitehouse">whitehouse</a>, <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/gov">gov</a>, <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/%22open+government%22">open government</a>, <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/%22open+data%22">open data</a></p><p><strong>by:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/user/gideonburton" title="View Gideon Burton's content in group">Gideon Burton</a></p> Wed, 23 May 2012 23:28:29 -0000 http://radar.oreilly.com/2012/05/judge-alsup-codes.html <p><strong>Comments:</strong><ul><li>A good case made for programming being part of cultural competence. - <small><a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/user/gideonburton" title="View Gideon Burton's content in group">Gideon Burton</a></small></li></ul></p><p><strong>Tags:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/programming">programming</a>, <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/%22digital+literacy%22">digital literacy</a>, <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/tag/coding">coding</a></p><p><strong>by:</strong> <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/group/digital-civilization/content/user/gideonburton" title="View Gideon Burton's content in group">Gideon Burton</a></p> Wed, 23 May 2012 23:22:25 -0000 http://www.carlboettiger.info/2012/05/21/limits-to-detection-of-early-warning-signals.html <p><strong>Comments:</strong><ul><li>Carl Boettiger's science paper, with links to his open notebook.
