-
In this powerful talk from TEDGlobal, Rebecca MacKinnon describes the expanding struggle for freedom and control in cyberspace, and asks: How do we design the next phase of the Internet with accountability and freedom at its core, rather than control? She believes the internet is headed for a "Magna Carta" moment when citizens around the world demand that their governments protect free speech and their right to connection.

World | David Graeber: The Shock of Victory - 0 views
-
The biggest problem facing direct action movements is that we don't know how to handle victory. This might seem an odd thing to say because of a lot of us haven't been feeling particularly victorious of late. Most anarchists today feel the global justice movement was kind of a blip: inspiring, certainly, while it lasted, but not a movement that succeeded either in putting down lasting organizational roots or transforming the contours of power in the world. The anti-war movement was even more frustrating, since anarchists and anarchist tactics were largely marginalized. The war will end, of course, but that's just because wars always do. No one is feeling they contributed much to it.

David Graeber: On Playing By The Rules - The Strange Success Of #OccupyWallSt... - 0 views

Just a few months ago, I wrote a piece for Adbusters that started with a conversation I'd had with an Egyptian activist friend named Dina: All these years," she said, "we've been organizing marches, rallies… And if only 45 people show up, you're depressed, if you get 300, you're happy. Then one day, 200,000 people show up. And you're incredulous: on some level, even though you didn't realize it, you'd given up thinking that you could actually win. As the Occupy Wall Street movement spreads across America, and even the world, I am suddenly beginning to understand a little of how she felt.
Open Data Has Little Value If People Can't Use It - Craig Hammer - Harvard Business Review - 1 views

the hard reality is that much of the public has been left behind, or tacked on as an afterthought

So how can we support "data-literacy" across the full spectrum of users, including media, NGOs, labor unions, professional associations, religious groups, universities, and the public at large? Here's one approach. It's time and resource intensive, but crucial — institutionalizing data literacy across societies.

Help us Open Source NASA.gov - open.NASA - 0 views

The use of open source software, cloud computing technologies, and an integrated approach to search, video, and social media seems almost common-place in industry these days. Yet government websites aren’t quite there with the exception of a few noteable exceptions (not an exhaustive list by any means). This is why I’m so excited about that NASA has recently released an RFI (Request for Information) for information on how to build a better public website nasa.gov and intranet insdie.nasa.gov. This is a really big step for NASA, but,we truly need your help.
Clay Shirky: Cognitive Surplus - 1 views

Shirky envisions an era of lower creative quality on average but greater innovation, an increase in transparency in all areas of society, and a dramatic rise in productivity that will transform our civilization. "[E]ven the banal uses of our creative capacity (posting YouTube videos of kittens on treadmills or writing bloviating blog posts) are still more creative and generous than watching TV. We don't really care how individuals create and share; it's enough that they exercise this kind of freedom."

Müssen wir dazu neue Software verwenden oder auch mit der bestehenden möglich?

Ich kenne die Software hinter Jedem gar nicht ... kann daher nichts sagen. Sollte es ein customized Drupal oder ähnliches sein, wirds einfach (wenn auch nicht gratis). Ansosnten könnte es aufwändig werden. Sollten Bachfellner dazu befragen, er ist u.a. ja auch der mit dem notwendigen technischen know-how.
"Aus dem Würgegriff der Experten befreit" - science.ORF.at - 0 views

Auch das Internet hat sich verändert. Durch Phänomene wie Crowdsourcing kam es zu einer Amateurisierung ganzer Berufssparten. Ich denke, dass sich die Kulturindustrie langsam aus dem Würgegriff einiger Experten befreit. Das haben wir zu einem großen Teil dem Internet zu verdanken. Ich sage es immer wieder und ich habe es auch in mein Buch geschrieben: Ich halte diese Entwicklung für äußerst positiv.

Kritiker des Web 2.0 behaupten, dass die Flut an neuen Medien die Kommunikation zwischen Menschen derart verändert hat, dass sie nun fragmentiert und unpersönlich geworden ist. Ich denke auch, dass sich zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen auf eine Weise verändert haben, die die besondere Vertrautheit, an die wir vor zehn oder 100 Jahren noch gewöhnt waren, bedroht

Sie arbeiten derzeit an einem journalistischen Projekt, bei dem Crowdsourcing benutzt wird, um Daten über das US-Gesundheitssystem zu erheben. In Österreich stecken diese Konzepte noch in den Kinderschuhen. Gibt es große Unterschiede zwischen Europa und den USA? Sind europäische Journalisten verschlossener gegenüber solchen Methoden? Ich denke, dass es Unterschiede gibt. In den USA erwägen immer mehr Medienunternehmen Crowdsourcing zu verwenden. Bei meinem Projekt geht es darum, Daten von Radiohörern zu sammeln und sich die Kosten für ihre Gesundheitsvorsorge anzusehen. Die Situation in Österreich kenne ich leider zu schlecht, um etwas darüber sagen zu können. Es gibt allerdings einige europäische Länder, die Crowdsourcing relativ früh aufgegriffen haben. Kurz nachdem mein Artikel darüber erschienen ist, gab es ein Experiment in den Niederlanden. Die Regierung hat dort versucht, die Bevölkerung durch Crowdsourcing in den Gesetzgebungsprozess einzubinden
