What type of book should you read? - 0 views

  •  
    A job for the future:  London's School of Life offers the help of "bibliotherapists" who can help you decide what kinds of books you should be reading.  Maybe a "museuotherapist" can help visitors decide what parts of the museum they should spent their time on.

    This is what I've been proposing all along! And, we'd also better be kind to the Gen X'ers.

Cultural Data Project - 1 views

  •  
    It it shocking to see stats that say Califonia has 11,000 full-time and 28,000 part time employees n the Arts & Cultural Sector, but more than 155,000 volunteers and interns. No wonder there are no jobs -- people are willing to work in museums and cultural orgs for free. What do we do for our fellow professionals?

  •  
    PlaNYC 2030 - a cool future plan for NYC. Of note for my interest is the chapter on Parks and Public Space, but others may find other chapters of interest, especially in terms of how they envision the city 15 years into the future.

  • Simply put, if you don't have any water to drink or food to eat but your neighbors do and won't share, you and your buddies are going to yank it away from them. Social unrest is not a joke.

Why do we assume the future will be short? - John Schellenberg - Aeon - 0 views

  • Why has recognising the deep future been so difficult for humanity? Why, after discovering the place of the Earth in the solar system, the place of the solar system in the universe, the age of the Earth, the age of the universe, and evolution by natural selection over aeons of Earth’s history, do we still need to be prodded to perform the simple act of turning around, to position ourselves to see both forward and back in time?

Circuit Scribe: Draw Circuits Instantly - 0 views

    A cautionary tale...I saw lots of references to this on blogs I track in Feedly. Thought my brother-in-law should know about it since he works in electrical engineering. Tracked down the source to Kickstarter. It's an idea -- and probably a good one -- but not real yet.

    If you have any doubt that there is value in look at data visually, visit immersion.media.mit.edu to see a visual representation of your own email. Imagine this kind of network display applied to museum visitors...who is connected to whom and how often do they communicate.

I tested the Google glass | LinkedIn - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting commentary from some who have tested Google Glass. Overall, it seems that GG is not as close to being able to be a widespread consumer product as the hype might have us believe.

Scientists: Let's Change How We Talk About Climate Change - 0 views

  •  
    What's needed...is a lot more public debate about the risks of inaction. "Risk is something we all understand in our daily lives...and if people were to think more about the risk of inaction, we think they would be more inclined to take action." How can museums help move the conversation forward?
