    well, it's still an awesome video. Hey, I love the part with Wikipedia where you increase the number of contributors +1 :D:D:D

  • OK, lemme just say, bravo for responding to the ideas in the already-great "The Machine is us/ing us" video with your own similar video. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that jazz, although I bet you already knew that, obviously... way to go!

  • NICE

  • Well done. Initially I was expecting words, but realized none was needed.

  • amazing, thanks!

  • Nice homage to weinberger

  • @SteveDreamWeaver - Excellent point. And closer to the truth than many of faith in God realise. But not in the way that you think.

    The Attempted Murder of God:Hidden Science You Really Need To Know

  • Excelente video, el cual fue uno de los que me motivo a trabajar el tema de las folksonomías en las bibliotecas para mi tesis de maestría.

  • What makes people be so shortsighted that they can not even consider the possibility that God might use evolution as his way to build!

  • If information has changed this much in the last 30 years alone, imagine what changes it will go through in the next 30. Michio Kaku said the within 30 years, Moore's Law will collapse, and silicon tech will be at the very limit. He thinks that by then though we will have computers (Quantum Computers) that compute at the speed of human thought. 500 trillion bytes p/s. That's over 454 Terabytes per second.

  • Now I have to Wikipedia Moore's Law :-P .

    Well, knowledge is always good. Even if it's irrelevant to your field of study.

  • i read in an article that they have made a new synthetic material known as graphene and in 30 years by that time it would already be replacing silicone because it is much more efficient because of its structure but then again by that time it would be almost pointless so im not even sure anymore.

  • ur the man

  • the singularity is near...

  • I love these videos from you!! I really apreciate this since I'm student of IT managment, we are learning on how we can exploit and use information.

    Your videos open my mind always! =]

    cheers from Mexico city!

  • This is very interesting. But as information evolves into a more digital age, what happens to the value of it? Information is valued by the way we read and the way we process it. The more we have, the less we know. Little value is placed on information by students that have infinite access to it. What has happened is the creative restructuring of information is gone. It's all about the copy and paste. Is there a way to combine them? Hopefully! Wonderful work! I'm a big fan!

  • @NadeenN419

    "What happens to the value of it?"

    Well, I think the information will not have value in a future as these days... What will have value is HOW WE manage that information, how we can exploit it, so we can: build, change and take decitions.

    The better way to exploit information is not by a single person... it's by groups of persons (e.g. Wikipedia).

    Sorry my bad english! I tried my best hehehe!

  • cool. now how about a nice game of chess?

  • its been showed in one of my classes last year :)

  • good

  • The part about library research is hilarious: been there, done that - and loved it too.

    But the first time a student showed me how to get to a search engine on Netscape, I thought "25 years of library experience down the drain", but I was thrilled, actually.

    And having made "surface menu pages" to facilitate access to the content of an errh, idiosyncratically structured traditional web site I used to write for, I was thrilled to discover "flat" wikis :-)

  • I loved this video. What an interesting compilation of the way information has changed. Bravo!

  • Very Smart

  • I love the back ground music c:

  • Amazing

  • what song is this

  • It's told at the end of the video.

  • You explained in 5 minutes what I've been reading about all day. Thanks

  • Cool!!. No Play Games...?

  • F'ing sweet.

  • INSPIRING!!!!!!!!! It is on ALL of us! :)

    (Hey, will more stuff online eventually lead to less stuff on paper and less slaughtering of the few trees we have left on earth?)

  • And where does the power come from to keep the web & computers running? Not from replenishable energies.

    Mankind cannot just stop depending on our limited resources without causing chaos.

    The damage is done, the only thing we can do is to advance even faster to find new ways to protect earth and us before it's too late.

  • sadly since the personal computer has been around three times more paper is used to print a "physical" copy, just in case data is lost. 1 copy for you, 1 copy for me, and 1 copy to be filed in a safe location should either of us lose our copy. makes sense huh?

  • would be so lucky if i ever find a teacher like you.

  • @shaheer92 You HAVE found him. Soon all the great teachers will be on the web, available free to anyone. if you want a diploma, someone will want to package that, and charge you for it, but the knowledge is there now.

  • @shaheer92 the two greatest gifts of mankind is the ability to share information and the ability to use our minds.

  • @diofiglio1 . I joined the Global Information Network and I have some of the greatest teachers from around the world.

  • @diofiglio1 For more information go to theglobalinformationnetworkhel­per((d­ot))org

  • great work and def inspiring.. working now for more than 2 years as a Microsoft SharePoint comsultant in the Netherlands and these are just the topics which i am dealing each day..

    def wanted you as my teacher!!

  • how come i didn't find you earlier????

  • Michael that was great work!!! Wish I had you for a teacher.... since we are ALL writing blogs, uploading, and recording information in videos get the tools you need to be a well-informed person today

    enounce Myspeed helped me drive effectively thru the information highway

  • Love it.

  • great work

  • Comment removed

  • computers will not rule man... those who rule computers will rule man.

  • what they're trying to say about organization is pretty stupid not holding back on that one.

  • WOW!  What in inspiration! Bravo!!

  • As is your other video that i've watched so far: inspirational and interesting.

    Denis

  • man o man this is a good video - well done! I plan to tell all my teaching buddies and senior students about it

  • Video tres interessante merci beaucou.

    Great video, thanks a lot.

  • dude

    omg

    this video rocks i mean

    the depth is amasing

    i never though i could find some one on youtube where thay put random video about random thing to contain something that could achualy make u think.

    this was a great destraction from my ICT course work. lol

    u need more than a tray of cookies, and a high 5.

    u have be subscribed to my friend

  • information is how we're going through evolution as a species IMO, and it is a way for us to learn about each other, share our experiences, knowledge and feelings. This is exactly why i got into the information technology Industry, I want to make a difference to our race, your video is absolutely INSPIRING.!!! power to you

  • Whats that for a webpage at 4:45?

  • Good one!!!...you made my day with a wealth of information!!

  • Your video.....it's just....wow....I mean...wow....you did awesome...you need more then one cookie!!!

  • I like the message of the video, I just don't like the motion sickness that it causes.

  • Mwesch was my Intro to Cultural Anthropology professor at Kansas State University. He is, by far, my favorite professor and a wonderful man to know! Absolutely amazing!

  • Well put together. It really made me think..

    It's crazy how fast this is all changing..evolving..

    How long will it be until you can get any information without leaving your house?

  • Without getting up from your chair... maybe without so much as a single keystroke...

    Verifiable information, too.. perhaps even a whole education, including the social interaction...

    Which brings with it a host of new problems we must face as a species...

    Isn't it wonderful?

  • Maybe not. Go read M T Anderson's Feed.

    Besides, it is still organized according to whatever algorithm your search engine is using, and those with a sense for how to use bolean logic will be more successful in finding what they are looking for than someone who simply types in a keyword.

    How are we supposed to sift through the garbage? How can we trust what the search turns up? What happens to "peer" review when those editing your work are not your "peers"?

  • Maybe not. Go read M.T. Anderson's book, Feed.

  • I think I will take your advice and check out the book.

    That doesn't change the fact that the problem you described is one of the many we'll have to face that I mentioned earlier. We'll either figure it out or civilization will collapse around us (or one of the other myriad of alternatives in-between).

    It'll be an interesting challenge. :)

  • I feel a little smarter after watching this video. Which is good because I felt a little less smart while I watched this video.

  • sick

  • just amazing

    Fantastic work

  • It also has it's phenomenological aspects I guess. Abduction and Epoché goes hand in hand, depending on which kind of technique you want to apply.

  • Interesting that there was no Digg on Miscellaneous until I just created one. One would think that after this idea and video has been out for so long, that someone should've done it already.

    But, the message here. Isn't it just the basics of ethnography applied to the internet? It's just the abductive pragmatism that Peirce talked about...

  • video was great and true. but where will information lead us oblivion or gnosis

  • it went a bit too fast. =\

  • well that's the pace of the technology revolution my friend

  • wth

  • kut video en een kut opdracht van school.

  • Please describe your A/TTITUDE towards Trustworthiness, Honesty, Theft and Dependability????

  • This video is fantastic!  I found this when reading an article on tagging and assigning categories to files in MS Vista.

  • I really enjoyed your video. I absorbed so many thoughts and ideas at such a short span (execution was excellent). We really experienced a phenomenal information revolution with the internet. It just opened flood gates to so much information. The internet had also saved us all so much time. If you are old enough to remember how we used to conduct research, you'll know what I mean. We now only have to rethink of the way we find the information we need, but that isn't a very difficult thing.

  • 2:51 - 2:52 was hilarious =D

    i enjoy your videos very much. keep it up =)

  • It's always fun to see what's rattling around in your brain. Oops, did I forget thought-provoking?

  • Awesome video. I'm just curious if it was meticulously planned out or just morphed into what it is. It's very cool and powerful and creative!!!

  • Yeah, My IT Teacher Showed Us This.

    There Is Actually 16,310,000,000 Results For 'a' In Google Now (Yep, I'm That Sad, I Actually Searched It!)

  • kinda confusing, I agree with the whole Web2.0 -information being easily accessed, created, and organized by web users, but we still need to organize these things behind the scenes. Physical constraints are not there such as bookshelves or even yahoo categories. We must still tag each item, we must evaluate usage of links, & sort out info, right? If no one knows where 2 look, how will they be able 2 find info, use it, or critique it. Search engines now suck! Web2.0 is for developers currently!

  • anyone with a bit of brain know how to filter results on Google. It's not that hard.

  • And is that more or less efficient than conducting a search via nexus/lexis or in an accredited encyclopedia?

  • Depends on whether or not you have grasped the concept of keywords.. I rarely use more than 30 seconds to find pages upon pages on the subject I was looking into

  • Being given "pages upon pages" often obfuscates the "answers" you seek.

    And do you trust a company that gets paid to put certain pages first or higher in the search result to give you the best information first?

  • very good point! money is the root of all evil!

  • funny thing is, new generations should have already adapted to these new features

    technology's great, but can the world keep up to date? how ppl categorize others as either in 1st, 2nd or 3rd world countries...

    i just feel there's certain pressures like electricity needs, can everyone really own a computer? are we smart enough to share earth's resources...

    and yeah it's great that the technology is out there, only problem now is getting the word out - i only found out about this clip today!

  • good music

  • stop fighting on youtube xD

    these commnts are SO much fun 2 read. oB

  • i like it, but not as much as the others---perhaps you should try saying what you have to say w/o the special effects. I wonder is links and tags will be enough to organize a global information base. The w3c is dealing w such issues in various XML-related standards. I honestly don't know where tagging fits into their work---but I agree that it is more than a phenomenon. Folksonomy is one major factor allowing this rapidly-growing information base to be self-organizing.

  • Brilliant. As always. Thanks.

  • this guy's work is brilliant!

  • Great video. I like how a lot of different ways were used to express the largeness of the Internet.

    I find it a bit disturbing, however, that some of the most recent comments are about religion when this video specifically discusses the information revolution.

  • how fucking old are you

  • Love it, as expected. I must comment that, while I understand people's complaints that the internet is 100% based on a system of filing and "shelving" in the forms of servers and drives and databases, searching for the information is much more free-form than walking down an aisle. It's a very loose interpretation, so I won't argue it.

  • Brainstorming/Idea? - Not w/ME,, w/YOURSELF? - U.S.= 300 million, try w/true serious inquiry to find 3% who can correctly interpret John 3:16 from the Bible alone and in its entirety as only dictionary & commentary used to produce "INTERPERTATION". --"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."-- If we think we understand something correctly, but do not? We destroy understanding. We kill it.

  • What if "Information R/evolution" LOOKS LIKE THIS = 1) do-it-yourself plans wrong. 2) interpretation needed unknown to understanding & "the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information" misdirection & in fact to be killing T-R-U-E understanding. 3) imagine 32 months before destruction in 5 (May 21st 2011 to October 21st 2011). Is this not a T-I-M-E to focus on interpretation of "Information" needed to come to R/evolutionary conclusions?? EXAMPLE = "We Are Almost There"

  • That song sounds like Call of Ktulu

  • Excellent. Really.

    -Saltis

  • T-R-U-E ,,, God did make E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

    See -> "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Heb 11:3.

    See -> "The LORD hath made all [things] for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." Pro 16:4

    T-R-U-E "Hope" is a Synonym for "Christ" just like T-R-U-E "Faith" is a Synonym also no matter how you arrange it today T-R-U-E "Hope" & "Faith" are both Proper Nouns.

  • Very compelling.

  • That's true rod ^_^

    and yeah, the video is quite lovely. "The Machine is Us/ing us" was also mind-blowing...love this guy's work.

  • Good video, BTW. It is out-of-the-box-ish thinking.

  • Sally, I think there's a confusion of terms here. The video is referring to "evolution" as a gradual growth or change...of anything. In a general sense. Not evolutionary theory as it's described in biology or argued against by Christians. "Evolution" simply means growth or change - adaptation. So your religous outrage really isn't even necessary here.

    The video's not talking about the origins of life, just about the way infomation is changing, which no one can deny. So chill.

  • I think that "sallyproductionz" knows that the video is not about evolution... she's just going Westminster-Baptist-Church-ish on us.

    It's people like this we just have to deal with.

  • Yes I Understand and I Don't Belive That. We All Have Our Own Voices Or Openions. Thank You all Who Have Agreed/Disagreed With Me In A Kind Way. I'm Sorry If Any Of You R Offinded But That's Just My Belifes.

  • Excellent.

  • please be open minded
