  • just repurposing existing academic content
  •  
    An organizing entity for what I've been hearing about with college professors putting their lectures online. Apparently, they are not viewed as much as people thought would happen. Now there's a site that pulls them all together. It's called Academic Earth.

    Essentially, everyone is a commercial director and the product is yourself.

    The title of this blog post is THIS is a 21st Century Skill. The author discusses the fact that the ability to make a comprehensible, on-message, and appealing video is becoming a literacy. Is this new? No, not the communication piece, but the medium is new as a universal. Essentially, everyone is a commercial director and the product is yourself.

  • a new social-networking service that allows customers to compare their DNA.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • encourage consumers to get DNA testing, potentially creating a novel research resource in the process
  • people can find each other by their alleles
  • most of the controversy centered on the medical applications. Customers can learn their genetic risk, compared with the general population, of myriad diseases, including Alzheimer's, diabetes, macular degeneration, and cancer. But many scientists and physicians say that it's unclear whether the average user can truly comprehend this information, and whether knowing her genetic risk will actually improve her health
  • allows people to compare their genome with those of family members, friends, and even strangers who have offered up their DNA data

    Freaky. Reminds me of the sci fi of the 90's.
