    Good for us all to think about.  And good to know about an article like this.  I'm seeing a little backlash against "technology"  like this in various articles.  I'll try to gather them up.

  • The defenders of the unfettered Web have their hopes set on HTML5 — the latest version of Web-building code that offers applike flexibility
  • This is seen by many as a battle for the soul of the digital frontier.
  • Since the dawn of the commercial Web, technology has eclipsed content.
  • this is a battle that seemed fought and won — not just toppling newspapers and music labels but also AOL and Prodigy and anyone who built a business on the idea that a curated experience would beat out the flexibility and freedom of the Web.
  • Chaos isn’t a business model. A new breed of media moguls is bringing order — and profits — to the digital world.
  • the top 10 Web sites accounted for 31 percent of US pageviews in 2001, 40 percent in 2006, and about 75 percent in 2010.
  • Within five years, Morgan Stanley projects, the number of users accessing the Net from mobile devices will surpass the number who access it from PCs.
  • For the sake of the optimized experience on mobile devices, users forgo the general-purpose browser.
  • But eventually our tolerance for the delirious chaos of infinite competition finds its limits.
  • Much as we love freedom and choice, we also love things that just work, reliably and seamlessly.
  • about 35 percent of all our media time is now spent on the Web
  • The dark side of network effects is that rich nodes get richer. Metcalfe’s law,
  • which states that the value of a network increases in proportion to the square of connections,
  • We get the Web. It’s part of our life. And we just want to use the services that make our life better.
  • Blame human nature. As much as we intellectually appreciate openness, at the end of the day we favor the easiest path.

  • Filmmaker and George Lucas Educational Foundation chairman George Lucas thinks it's time to change "English" class into "Communication" class, where students learn the grammatical rules of graphic arts, film, and music along with English grammar.

  • PowerPoint’s worst offense is not a chart like the spaghetti graphic, which was first uncovered by NBC’s Richard Engel, but rigid lists of bullet points (in, say, a presentation on a conflict’s causes) that take no account of interconnected political, economic and ethnic forces.
  • behind all the PowerPoint jokes are serious concerns that the program stifles discussion, critical thinking and thoughtful decision-making.
  • “I have to make a storyboard complete with digital pictures, diagrams and text summaries on just about anything that happens,” Lieutenant Nuxoll told the Web site. “Conduct a key leader engagement? Make a storyboard. Award a microgrant? Make a storyboard.”

      Sounds like the exercise has become about the tool, and the tool is meant to stand in for someone who is putting the simplified/bulleted content in context.  Powerpoint is not the enemy, it's being misused.

    Sounds like the exercise has become about the tool, and the tool is meant to stand-in for someone who is putting the simplified/bulleted content in context.   Powerpoint is not the enemy, it's being misused as a replacement for rigorous critical thinking around complex issues.  It's a visual aide, not a complete platform for stand-alone communication.
