James Burke Connections #1 - The Trigger Effect - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    "The Trigger Effect" details the world's present dependence on complex technological networks through a detailed narrative of New York City and the power blackout of 1965. Agricultural technology is traced to its origins in ancient Egypt and the invention of the plow. The segment ends in Kuwait where, because of oil, society leapt from traditional patterns to advanced technology in a period of only about 30 years."

    "Some of the social media buzz during the VITTA conference that was held over two days in August 2012 . I have woven this story using quantum strings so it mashes together ideas and shuffles about the times. It is a personal reflection and of course, the best thing was the opportunity to be there :-)"

Why Apple Is Gunning for Microsoft - Datamation - 1 views

  •  
    "Apple announced a few new products yesterday, including a new thin and light iPad Air model. But mostly, the event was an assault on its old rival Microsoft. Always disciplined in messaging, the message from Apple was loud and clear: Microsoft has no vision and their software is wildly overpriced."

    "Google Docs is a favorite thing for many educators. It is a totally free, web-based word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, and form application. It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users, especially for trainers using it in online classroom. In addition to being a stellar way to write, store and manage your documents and slideshows, is also a fantastically useful way to create online quizzes for assessment. "

The Twitter Trap - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  •  
    "Last week my wife and I told our 13-year-old daughter she could join Facebook. Within a few hours she had accumulated 171 friends, and I felt a little as if I had passed my child a pipe of crystal meth. I don't mean to be a spoilsport, and I don't think I'm a Luddite. I edit a newspaper that has embraced new media with creative, prizewinning gusto. I get that the Web reaches and engages a vast, global audience, that it invites participation and facilitates - up to a point - newsgathering. But before we succumb to digital idolatry, we should consider that innovation often comes at a price. And sometimes I wonder if the price is a piece of ourselves. "

  •  
    "It's a noble aspiration: being truly digital means no trees die, your information is searchable, sortable, and safely stored in the cloud. We now have access to great tools such as Evernote, Dropbox, and Google's suite of applications, which means that stuff you care about can accessible to you on almost any device and location; on your phone, tablet, and desktop, at home, at the office, and on the move. Yet paper survives."
