"A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention."

L'internet ou plus globalement la généralisation du numérique est-elle en train d'activer une mutation radicale de l'économie vers le tout gratuit ? C'est la thèse de Chris Anderson, le rédacteur en chef de Wired. Souvenez-vous, il y a peu, il avait déjà secoué notre perception de la distribution en exposant le modèle de la longue traîne.

Chris is expanding this article into a book, due out in May 2006. Follow his continuing coverage of the subject on The Long Tail blog. In 1988, a British mountain climber named Joe Simpson wrote a book called Touching the Void, a harrowing account of near death in the Peruvian Andes.

Le Monde | * Mis à jour le | Par Bertrand Le Gendre Les blogs et les plates-formes de partage comme Facebook encouragent en permanence ce dévoilement du moi. Jacques Perriault (université Paris Ouest - Nanterre) parle à leur sujet d'"exhibitionnisme en ligne". De "double numérique".

The book revealed how mass collaboration was reinventing the way businesses communicate, create value, and compete in the new global marketplace. Since its inception, Wikinomics.com has hosted many good discussions with insights from posters and readers alike.

""There's no way for microfinance companies to communicate with each other," said Joyce Kim, executive director at the Stellar Development Foundation. The combined Oradian/Stellar product would allow microfinance companies to quickly send money to each other. "There's something like 100,000 microfinance institutions, how do we connect them? How do they get the kinds of efficiencies that will change their lives?" The partnership is going to move slowly, beginning with a pilot program in Nigeria, where moving money often physically carrying cash on a 12-hour bus ride. Stellar could, obviously, change that dynamic."

"Decentralization transfers that power from individuals and corporations to technology and immutable math, leading to reduced overheads, improved security, more resiliency and higher efficiency. There are three technologies that will form the foundation of the decentralized computing stack - mesh networks (decentralized networking), block chain (decentralized transactions) and autonomous agents (decentralized decision making)."

As reported by Nesta, an innovation charity with a mission to help people and organisations bring great ideas to life: As technology shapes our world, young people need to be able to shape it too. As skills and work become increasingly technologically mediated, the need for digital skills is paramount with some calculating a potential £2 billion loss to the UK economy from unfilled roles requiring such skills. After several years working with organisations supporting digital making, and with creating with technology set to go mainstream through a forthcoming BBC campaign, this report takes stock of what is happening. Key Findings: 82 per cent of young people say they are interested in digital making. However, half of young people make things with digital technology less than once a week or never. Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of digital making. 89 per cent think it is a worthwhile activity for their children. 73 per cent encourage their children to make things with technology. We identified 130,800 opportunities to experience digital making provided by the organisations surveyed. This is a long way from providing for the interest shown by 82 per cent of our survey, which represents a possible 8.2 million school age children and young people in the UK. Digital making is powered not just by money, but also by volunteers. Two thirds of the organisations identified said they relied on volunteers to do their work. Only half of teachers who teach ICT or computing report being confident in teaching the curriculum.

"Le développement de l'économie numérique, dont j'ai la responsabilité au sein du gouvernement, n'a de sens que si les contenus et les usages, qui sont la finalité du développement technologique, sont conçus à l'avantage de tous les citoyens" (quote pour Netizenship + engager dialogue avec nkm)
