  • It is clear that users are not reading online in the traditional sense; indeed there are signs that new forms of “reading” are emerging as users “power browse” horizontally through titles, contents pages and abstracts going for quick wins. It almost seems that they go online to avoid reading in the traditional sense.
  • We are not only what we read
  • We are how we read.

  • When we read online, she says, we tend to become “mere decoders of information.” Our ability to interpret text, to make the rich mental connections that form when we read deeply and without distraction, remains largely disengaged.

  • We have to teach our minds how to translate the symbolic characters we see into the language we understand. And the media or other technologies we use in learning and practicing the craft of reading play an important part in shaping the neural circuits inside our brains
  • readers of ideograms, such as the Chinese, develop a mental circuitry for reading that is very different from the circuitry found in those of us whose written language employs an alphabet.

  • You are right,” Nietzsche replied, “our writing equipment takes part in the forming of our thoughts.” Under the sway of the machine, writes the German media scholar Friedrich A. Kittler, Nietzsche’s prose “changed from arguments to aphorisms, from thoughts to puns, from rhetoric to telegram style.”
  • James Olds, a professor of neuroscience who directs the Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study at George Mason University, says that even the adult mind “is very plastic.
  • “intellectual technologies”—the tools that extend our mental rather than our physical capacities—we inevitably begin to take on the qualities of those technologies
  • “disassociated time from human events and helped create the belief in an independent world of mathematically measurable sequences.”
  • The “abstract framework of divided time” became “the point of reference for both action and thought.”

  • The process of adapting to new intellectual technologies is reflected in the changing metaphors we use to explain ourselves to ourselves. When the mechanical clock arrived, people began thinking of their brains as operating “like clockwork.” Today, in the age of software, we have come to think of them as operating “like computers.” But the changes, neuroscience tells us, go much deeper than metaphor. Thanks to our brain’s plasticity, the adaptation occurs also at a biological level.
  • The Internet, an immeasurably powerful computing system, is subsuming most of our other intellectual technologies. It’s becoming our map and our clock, our printing press and our typewriter, our calculator and our telephone, and our radio and TV.

Tech Digest : Real-time Twitter searches on Google results - 0 views

  • The Firefox add-on that brings Twitter results to your traditional search pages
  • Have a click on the image just here on the right and once it's bigged itself up, you'll notice it's a Google search page with five Twitter results at the top. That's because some clever soul over on MT-Hacks has created code for the Greasemonkey add-on for Firefox which offers a degree of real-time search on Google. Very neat indeed.
  • Head over to MT-Hacks to get the Twitter search add-on for your browser and see what you make of it.
  •  
    Useful for highly local news/search in particular.

  • Me aprovecho del brillante trabajo de Bruce Branit (verdaderamente impresionante el corto World Builder) [alt1040] para anunciar otro brillante trabajo, pero que además de sorprender la imaginación promete generar una reacción en cadena de sinapsis neuro-digitales. Me refiero al nuevo trabajo de Alejandro Piscitelli: “Nativos Digitales, Dieta cognitiva, Inteligencia Colectiva y Arquitecturas de la Participación”. (Santillana - 2009).
  • En nativos-digitales.com.ar el autor adelanta que el texto estará compuesto de 3 partes: - I. Los nativos digitales, una nueva clase cognitiva. - II. Educando a los nativos digitales en espacios de afinidad. - III. Gestionando los contextos de cambio caóticos en los que vivirán los nativos digitales.
  • Compendio de los capítulos que tiene este trabajo: o Cap.01 Nativos Digitales o Cap.02 Nuevos Formatos o Cap.03 Videojuegos o Cap.04 TV inteligente o Cap.05 Generación Einstein o Cap.06 Alfabetización Digital o Cap.07 Docentes 2.0 o Cap.08 Educ.ar o Cap.09 Software social o Cap.10 Par a Par o Cap.11 Cambios masivos o Cap.12 Mediacions Tecnológicas
