Yet Another Fascinating Long Now Talk
I just listened to the podcast of the recent long-term thinking seminar by Alex Wright, entitled The Deep History of the Information Age. Lots of good ideas in this one: networks coalescing into hierarchies, taxonomies as family tree hierarchies, the web as more akin to an oral culture than a literate one. Particularly interesting was also some history of individual contributions to information organization (some well known, and some completely new to me). As always when listening to these talks, I find all sorts of food for thought as I try and relate the various ideas to things in my life, Mozilla and otherwise.Posted by dmose at October 28, 2007 3:42 PM
