Future Lab presentation reflections on my session A mixed post here . First I am blogging directly from Microsoft Word2007 which allows you to publish straight to your blog !! Over the two days of the thought provoking Future Lab conference "Why don't you !!!" delivered a 90 minutes workshop twice title "Blog Off , these web 2.0 tools will never make it into the learner experience " I thought they went ok and the participants were great and really had a lot to offer me and each other . The second session was filmed by two separate cameras one for future labs use and one streamed live by Leon Cynch I used a variety of approaches including Google presenter with remote viewers adding in comments via chat Google presenter supports. Presentation can be seen at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dc7bzghg_51cgn6xn I started using my video clip epic2015 a interesting view of the future of the internet ?? http://epic.makingithappen.co.uk/new-master1.html It mentions the wane of the fourth estate and by sheer chance Seb Schmollers fortnightly mailing picked up on this work of Bill Dutton (thanks Seb BTW link to Seb's mailing sign up is in my sidebar) Seb says A political scientist's perspective on the Internet. Bill Dutton argues that just as printing led to the creation of an independent (?) institution that has become known as the 'Fourth Estate', the Internet, and the network of networks it supports, is leading to the 'Fifth Estate', which could be more important to the 21st century than the Fourth Estate has been since the 18th. http://fm.schmoller.net/2007/10/bill-dutton---a.html Reflections interesting session making me think I am a bit web 1.5 rather than web 2.0 and not convinced web2.00 is really a helpful meaningful handle describing for current developments
This brief article is interesting morphing of design changing culture that technology is allowing or is it forcing on us you decide its your future. Never been to Japan but sure sounds interesting . Tokyo, Living Lab of Possible Futures
