From Linking to Thinking - ALA Midwinter 2009 OCLC Symposium
"The Web, and how we use it, has changed dramatically over the past few years. We've seen explosive growth in social networking, more types and volumes of content becoming available, a wider availability and sophistication of creative tools and the growing use of mobile devices to access the Internet. Taken individually, each of these changes represents a major shift in how we learn and communicate. Together, these trends signal a shift to a future where the Web is at the center of our information lives.
What does that mean for us as learners, educators, citizens and creators? How will our lives be changed when we don't connect to information on a case-by-case basis, but live in an environment saturated with data, media and communications?"
Text and video from David Weinberger, Nova Spivack, and discussion with Roy Tennant moderating.
