  • 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

  • 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.
  • But eventually our tolerance for the delirious chaos of infinite competition finds its limits.

Big Thinkers: Howard Gardner on Multiple Intelligences | Edutopia - 1 views

  •  
    This is terrific. I wish he had been my professor. Howard Gardner talks about how ineffective one-size-fits-all education is, and suggests how education has to change. I love what he has to say about assessment.
  •
