    The creator of Hole in the Wall: The Future of Learning: can it be a school in the cloud. This 22+ min. talk is inspiring for those who love technology and futurist thinking. He aks for help in designing the "School in the Cloud, a learning lab in India, where children can explore and learn from each other -- using resources and mentoring from the cloud." Are we still creating for a machine that no longer exists? On anecdote about the Hole in the Wall: The children said that the machine used only English, so they had to teach themselves English to use it -- very casually.

  • QUANTIFYING the amount of information that exists in the world is hard. What is clear is that there is an awful lot of it, and it is growing at a terrific rate (a compound annual 60%) that is speeding up all the time.
  • data from sensors, computers, research labs, cameras, phones and the like surpassed the capacity of storage technologies in 2007. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, Europe’s particle-physics laboratory near Geneva, generate 40 terabytes every second—orders of magnitude more than can be stored or analysed.
  • scientists collect what they can and let the rest dissipate into the ether.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • What about the information that is actually consumed?
  • households were bombarded with 3.6 zettabytes of information (or 34 gigabytes per person per day)
  • In terms of bytes, written words are insignificant
  • half of all bytes are received interactively
  • “information created by machines and used by other machines will probably grow faster than anything else,”
  • ‘database to database’ information
  • “It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information,” quipped Oscar Wilde in 1894.
  • Only 5% of the information that is created is “structured”, meaning it comes in a standard format of words or numbers that can be read by computers.
  • changing as content on the web is increasingly “tagged”, and facial-recognition and voice-recognition software can identify people and words in digital files.
