The Internet 2020

2008-12-18T20:35:00.000-08:00

My friend Helene Blowers has a great post about the future of the Internet:

"Lee Ranie, Director of the Pew & Internet Life Project, sent me an email (like I assume many people were copied on) yesterday providing a heads up about the Pew latest report on the Future of Internet III. I've only taken a my first cursory glance over the summary and predictions, but what I really thought-provoking are some of the comments shared by leading experts and futurists...

"Hyperlinks subvert hierarchy. The Net will wear away institutions that have forgotten how to sound human."
"The world will get a nervous system, and that is a big deal."
"New methods of securing the true from the false will emerge. The source will become more important than the message."
"The internet is like graffiti, only it can be targeted to the right niche.

"Transportation will be refined through massive substitution of communication. The current flight to cities will be reversed."
"The greatest changes will occur in the arena of trust and human relations."

Read Helene's complete post here:

Are you helping people get jobs?

2008-12-18T19:59:00.000-08:00

What are you doing in this economic crisis? Just found this fantastic post at Web Strategy by Jeremiah that has some great links for job searching. Heros emerge in the worst of times and libraries are positioned to make a difference helping people who are newly unemployed. Would love to hear some ideas libraries are doing to help.

Great list of online sources to land jobs.

Is Pangea Day Coming to Your Library?

2008-04-14T04:41:00.000-07:00

In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it's easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that -- to help people see themselves in others -- through the power of film.

On May 10, 2008 -- Pangea Day -- sites in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked to produce a 4-hour program of powerful films, visionary speakers, and uplifting music. The program will be broadcast live to the world through the Internet, television, digital cinemas, and mobile phones.

Pangea is the name of the original super-continent which contained all the world's land mass before the continents started splitting apart 250 million years ago. We're launching Pangea Day with the vision that the people of the world can begin to overcome their divisions, and that the power of film can help make it possible.

Movies can't change the world. But the people who watch them can. I'm hosting a party at my home, why not consider having your library host one too?

Annoyed at having to take time to (ah hem) run to the ladies', I glanced into the class/community room on the way and noticed it was set up for the sushi class...the one I'd forgotten I'd signed up for. I had SO much fun :D"
