Traditional Knowledge: 1. Bounded 3. Orderly 2. Settled 4. Step by step

Information overload

“Alvin Toffler”, “Future Shock” in 1970. Distraction & unmanageable information Like: Email, Spam, notification etc.

“ There is no such thing as information overload, just filter failure” ..... Clay Shirky

Filtering

Traditional filtering:Remove books from the libraries.Internet filtering:No way to filter only useful information on web. Example : Blog

Inclusion method? what this called? “Filter forward rather than Filtering out.”

Messy

very good in organizing.

What about playlist?

Messiness is BAD?

Messines is how you scale importance.We will find millions of meaningful ideas that

contradict ideas.

Unsettled

For every fact on the internet there is an equal and opposite fact.

We never agree anything.

What to do?

Forking

Is to divide in branchesGo separate ways.

open source software.

Unstructured? Try Cloud.

New Era of Hyperlinks

Is going to be a new punctuation:

. , ; : ? ! Link

Real Life Example

This is where knowledge lives. Paper based system isn’t fast enough to scale knowledge.

Ideas of Smart Room (As Medium of Knowledge)

Traditional knowledge mediumExpensive books, Limited library shelfInappropriate maintenance of collectionsLimited capability of Human brain

Link mediumUnlimited capability

Change the way of thought

Ideas of Smart Room

Who is the smart person

Ideas of Smart Room

Smart is not the one who knows the mostbut

the room (networks) where people know together.

What about New Cultural Project(In a web Society)

Need to make a smart roomWhere people will work as volunteerLinks will be developedLinks will express interest & create contactsKnowledge will expand one network to otherFree access will make contradiction Disagreement and diversity will make the room

more rich.

Finally

“Networked knowledge may or may not be trueer about the world, but it is trueer about knowing.”

Finally

“What we have in common isn’t one knowledge about which we agree, but a shared world about which we disagree.”

Thanks a lot.
