Did you know what’s happening to the Internet?

This is another official update to the original “Shift Happens” video. This completely new September 2009 version includes facts and statistics focusing on the changing media landscape, including convergence and technology, and was developed in partnership with The Economist.

Thanks to Wes Fryer for the tip-off in his post Can you Imagine So Much Global Sharing?  My answer is – I never could, even though I’m an avid reader of SciFi. Dreaming and doing are quite different things!

Also in the same post – a peek at the state of the Internet. 

2010 is one amazing year!

2010 – A roadmap for the future

Futurist Richard Watson has updated his annual trends and technology timeline for 2010.  What an interesting conversation starter at a meeting looking at technology!

The map has 16 lines representing everything from society & culture to news & media. There are also 5 time zones representing 2010-2050, so everything that falls outside the central zone (zone 1) is obviously a prediction.

The Promise of Social Learning

Connectivism and Connective Knowledge – my favourite concepts!!   By the way, I get a lot a weird looks when I talk about what’s in slide slide 24 – but it’s true!!

A learning management system is a great tool for the wrong era!

But maybe it’s only true if you haven’t travelled the journey of  having one and realising what it’s not good for?  Small steps – BIG journey…..quick 🙂
